These are four individualists that could not be more different. They come together to fuse the soundtracks of their self-composed lives.

It is more than evident that these four Hamburg-based guys feel comfortable in many different sub-genres of rock. However, listeners will be quick to uncover the influence of RN’B-molded singer Can. A rock band that plays pop music and a pop band that plays rock music –or might it just be a genre that everybody has to define personally? No matter one’s decision: everybody can get carried away by driving guitar melodies, powerful rhythms and a distinctive voice.

When compared to the early days of the band’s time, when PAINTME PICASSO were still sitting in a Miami studio recording their first andself-titled EP (released in 01/2012), their unique style has notreally changed but much more evolved. Even though producers Chris Rodriguez (among others Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin) and Jeff Glixman (among others Gary Moore, Black Sabbath) have helped enormously atthat point, the guys quickly realized that they had to take matters into their own hands and decided the define their own sound. A great decision, as it turns out.

That is how the debut album “BYGONES” (release date: 21 February 2014) was put together by singer Can, guitarist Jules, bassist Pdx and drummer Steven since early 2013. So the professionally-trained musicians have gotten together with each other as well as mixing/mastering engineer and friend Ludwig Maier, who also functioned as producer, to provide their self-recorded music with a certain harmony and sharpen the sound. Johannes Rothenaicher was brought in as a helping hand and co-producer and finally completed the team. That way the album was finalized rather quickly.

However, the time has come for PAINT ME PICASSO to return to the stages because, after all, that is where the band feels the most comfortable. No surprise here after numerous successes incompetitions and more than 70 concerts during the two years before the album production phase! Shows and tours are already in planning –and a lot more can be expected!
