Hi, this is Chris from SoundpiX!
Well how did we four musicians of SoundpiX got to know each other? Well I met our Baseplayer Ronny in 1994, when I joined the local band „Jalopy“ (at this time Markus on voc and keyboard, Arigo on base, Ronny on guitar, and Stephan on drums). After about a year I quit the band, but was still in contact with them now and then.
I met Ronny much later, about 2018 or so, and chatted about making music. He told me, he has an open project in mind, where musicians can participate. I was focussing on visual arts and Comics since 2016, and postponed the idea.
But then in 2021, when the winter was dark and so was the situation in arts and society, I stepped into our rehearsal room to find Ronny jamming with two other musicians (and one of them was Mario who also became part of SoundpiX!). Well I joined the jam, had lots of fun, and realised that I still can play some guitar 🙂 With time the „just for fun“ developed into a band project.
We searched for musicians to join us, and got known to Thomas, who joined SoundpiX on drums.
Finally, the odds have it that you find people where you never expect, I met Reinhard on vaccation. He was very eager to get back to play some serious guitar, as he did in 1993 with the band „Black Acid“, a great heavy metal crossover project at that time.
After playing a great show (although the sound system was having problems) at the Rock Rodaun Festival in 2023, our base player Ronny quit in fall and we had to search for someone able to take over. Luckily we got known to Pedi, found out soon that sympathy and working together was perfect. So Pedi and Reini played the gig at Rock Rodaun open air in 2024.
During the year 2024 things changed again, as Reini wanted to changed field again towards metal and Pedi (commuting from Neusiedlersee) decided that coming regularly was too much effort. From the start of 2025 I again took over all guitar work and Tomas (an old friend of our drummer) joined in on the base.
So here we are:
SoundpiX“, das sind vier Musiker, die aus dem Leben gegriffene Situationen in ernste bis ironische Metaphern verpacken. Die Songs sind ein Mix aus Rock, Reggae, und Funk – das Resultat einer phantastischen gemeinsamen Reise, mit Inspirationen von Perchtoldsdorf über Rodaun bis Portugal.”(And gettin‘ caught in the rain.)
