Born in 2003, Cenk is a Celtic ska-punk band built on brilliant school
studies and lame failures in computer science, as well as strong interests
in radio shows, movies and beer.
The punkskaïa pogotis was first identified on the patient Fab. Strongly
contagious, he transmitted it to the patient Soko during an accidental high
school contact. Not aware of what he was carrying with him, this young man
took cover in a dark movie room where he met Xurxx, next victim of this
terrible disease.
The first sparkle was lit the day when Soko found a guitar with its amp in
his birthday gifts. He couldn’t stop playing this instrument, which made
Fab, recent bass-addict, very happy. Almost at the same time, xurxx brought
a hornpipe back from Spain. Everything was ready to start a mad band.
Only a drummer was missing.
He couldn’t be found.
The boys then put their hope in a drum machine.
The band’s style began to grow : A mix between dancing bass guitar, pipes,
flutes, tin whistle, pianos, kazoos and guitar.
After the first Cenk show, at the Beer Festival of Lausanne in 2004, the
drummer was finally found: Nicoxxx. The band explained to the drum machine
that the enterprise needs best performances, and that man replacing machine
is the natural way of life.
Right after this dismissal, Cenk moved from Ecublens to Lausanne.
They had to wait until July 05 to finally arrive to the actual line-up, with
the arrival of Markass as a second guitarist, who had just returned from the
kangaroos’ land.
Fall 2005 Cenk is nominated third best new Swiss rock band by the magazine «
RealRocker ». |
