Of course this section is way too subjective for each and everyone of us, although we'll try not to make it that obvious... Anyways we all agreed to start off with Andrei "Safta" Saftescu and his band - Cycle.
CYCLE - Dusseldorf, Germania
| Jens Schettler - B |
| Andrei "Safta" Saftescu - G |
| Andreas Corosidis - D |
| Holger vom Bruch - V |
Along with the material support, which got us out of the Romanian underground's big problem of the musician's gear many times, the gang is responsable of the wildest parties we ever saw. Safta went to school with Otty and Moritz. In 1990 he settled in Dusseldorf, Germany, where he began playing with various bands. The last and the most lasting of them is Cycle.
PRISN' STYLE - Mannheim, Germania
| Sebastian Blaj - D |
| Tim Scholl - G |
| Sven Reinfrank - V, G |
| Mad Kohler - K, V |
Marko Nau - G |
| Torsten Reinfrank - B, K, V |
The young Mannheim band was established by Sebastian Blaj. He is Adi Blaj's cousin, the guitarist of Anarhia. They came a few times in Romania, where they went on a "survival trip".
Zina Nails & NEGURA BUNGET - Timisoara, Romania
| Eddy K. - G |
| Gabi K. - B,K |
| Gabi M. - D |
| Jimi -G |
| Ovi - perc. |
| Attila - B |
Although these are 2 different bands, the gang is the same. OQ was invited in '99 to replace the Makrothumia keyboard-player. Since then, we went through a few gigs, one of them along with Anarhia. Gabi K. replaced Fane once at an Anarhia gig in Lugoj, while Fane had a hand enjury. OQ and Eddy are doing studio-experiments together.
END OF REALITY - Lugoj
| Oq - G, V |
| Cosmin Ivanus - B |
| Silvia Ivanus - D |
| Nizar ben Hadid - G |
| Dani Ciorecan - V |
| "Calinocea" Galea - D |
The band started in '97 with OQ, Cosmin and Silvia at drums. Later Dani and Nizar joined, and after 2 years they split. It was then when we changed drummers as well. Although this band never had a very serious career, it was a refuge for ideas that didn't fit in with Anarhia, mostly for subjective reasons...
SISTEM - Cluj-Napoca
| Robert Magheti |
| Claudiu "Nasu" Purcarin |
| Mihai "Cici" Rogojan |
| Florin "Phlo" Catalin Romascu |
| Toth "Zoli" Zoltan |
Yes, you guessed right. It's the barrel-boys themselves. Simi, our drummer, temporarily replaced Sergiu Stoiadin in a few gigs in 2001.
ULTIMUL TREN - Caransebes
| Adi Munteanu - G |
| Marin "Jose" Ionel - G |
| Catalin Pavel - B |
| Sorin Pitaru - D |
Ultimul Tren (The Last Train) are one of the oldest friends we have. We had some gigs together and "who's drinking more" contests. We helped each other with gear and "relations"...
Along with these bands, who are affecting our lives and careers, we should mention here all the bands in the Romanian underground. We won't do that. We'll only post here the bands who we played gigs with or went with us for a beer afterwards:
AMALA, ULTIMATUM - Timisoara
AVATAR - Craiova
LEGION- Seini
- Seini
- Bucuresti
SCREAMING HEADS - Resita
FUNERAL CEREMONY - Dej
APOCALIPS, PHOBIA - Sinnicolau Mare
ARGUS - Timisoara
BLAME - Caransebes
We want to dedicate a special chapter of this section to Marius "Bula" Albulescu. He passed away on January 22nd 2002, at the age of 24. He was a bass-player in a band called "Noua Generatie" (The New Generation), and was our biggest fan. On the next Anarhia album, we'll do a song he wrote...in his memory
