Thanks weisi that you have found time to give answers to these questions,
Greetings weisi could you please shortly introduce our readers your music project A.D.A.C 8286? Please fill also a biographical resume about how,when and where... A.D.A.C 8286 was founded in 2007 by tell me more about A.D.A.C 8286?.....
hey,i´m Weisi (Christoph). I compose and programm the songs together with Arian. I also write some of the lyrics, mostly together with a singer. And on stage i play the live-drums. I founded the band together with Andy( a former member) in sumer 2007. We were programming some instrumental takes first until we found David (los Krugos) for singing. So we started to make some songs , just for fun.nearly at the same time we meat Arian. he was making the same kind of music, but alone. so we asked if he wants to get into our project, because we realy liked his style.In autumn 2007 we asked Adrian(los Berndos) if he wants to do some back-vocals. And when ha started to shout we decided to take him as a full member. the so called second voice. After creating the first 4 sons we gave a demo-cdr to Electric-Tremor and they decided to invite us to play in the beatclub.What and who are some of your influences in music

Tell one secret about A.D.A.C 8286 that you have never told to anyone?
ähhm. we are the boys from the factory... psssssst
so tell me a bit more about yourself, such as musical?
Well mostly i try to learn more about composing songs. but i also play real drums and joke around with the guitar of a friend if i got nothing more to do.
Could you tell us a bit more about the origin of your band’s name?
no :-)
Could you tell us more about you latest album?
Our latetst20album " love hate ´n´ rage" was recorded in holzdorf during july 2008 and february 2009 and mastered by Guido Henning From E-Craft. If you read the title then you know what its about. Its about live. There are 13 songs and 1 bonus-song on "Love hate ´n rage". The best is to decide for yourself if you love it or hate it...
where did the concept come from? and whats planned now that your album is finished? or anything else you're working on? Tell me why this title "Their first album "Straight On" 2008"? Tell us a few words about the concept of this CDR?
The "Straight on"-cdr was more like a demo e.p.It was strictly limited and sold out soon. The song-structures were more simple then on "Love hate ´n rage". There were 10 songs including 2 remixes. 1 by SPARK! and one by U.M.M.This 2 bands are great friends for us.
tell me about the Electric Tremor Dessau label?
Well Electric-Tremor is the most important label for EBM in Germany i think. So i mean for real EBM. Not like this future-pop or hell-electro-stuff...They do so much for new bands. Thats why there are so many new cd-relases. No band could do it on20its own always.The other thing is that Tremor oranises very much festivals, concerts and parties for the EBM-scene. For example the "Familientreffen" in Sandersleben every year. The best festival we know. And they always got fair prices. Where can you get a new album for 10 euros or sometimes less??? I hope they will do their job a long time.
How is the current promotional tour going for supporting this album?
Its okay. We played in Halle and Dessau this year, when it was released and at 5.9.09 we play in Potsdam (Archiv) and at 2.10.09 we play in Leipzig (e36). WE hope to get some more gigs soon, but we played in nearly whole east-germany last year. so i think we have to wait a little bit :-)
What are your views on the current state of this electro scene in Germany.in terms of creativity and audiences? And the scene in other countries?
I dont know... If you have a look at the internet then you think :WOW... so much bands and people that like that kind of music. But if you have a look into the most clubs you begin to wonder what all this people are doing at the weekend. Sometimes i got the feeling that t he clubs are dying and the people are only going to big festivals or cripple in front of the computer.I think its the same in other countries. The music seems to live ,but for what?!
you have very nice album`and many many more tell me about lyrical compositions what you can tell about the done work? How does your music creation process work? How do you create a song?
Well first we try to find a sound. Then we sit down and write some stuff. After this we have a look if everything fits togehther. Then we record the vocals , put everything together and complete it a little bit.... ready
a like this number imitator tell me more about this number?
This song is about a person that imitates somebody who seems to be an idol or something and should remember that everybody has to do it his own way, not to copy blind. Influences are okay of course. Everybody gets influenced by somebody every day. but no 1 on 1 copy.
and tell me about Darkmen Remixes: Guilty EP (CD, Maxi) Stop The Machine Machineries Of Joy 2009
we love Darkmens "Stop The Machine", so it was a real homour for us to do that remix. But we did not want to destroy the concept of this song. we just gave it a little more agressive touch and some special A.D.A.C. 8286 drums. We were realy glad that they liked it a took it to promote their e.p.
If there was one thing you want people to know about your band what would that be?
We got no political interests!!!
Tell us a little bit more about A.D.A.C 8286 what do you do in your spare time?
We love to sit together and have a drink or 2... We also got some oldtimers on wich we are working a little bit. We even visit concerts and festivals as often as we can, and the rest is for family and girlfriends of course.
What do you think of its intermingling with the electro, Darkwave and EBM scenes? while electro is your main musical pallet,what other music do you listen to?
We listen a lot of music. Not only Ebm... Some of us like Rockabilly and Pychobilly. Los Krugos is a big Rammstein fan for example. The most importend thing as that its not political or too stupid. It has to be fun and even to give you special feeling sometimes.
Please let us know about your upcoming plans, some new releases you like to confirm here
We are working on a new album if there is any time and also on our side-prject together with Pascal Z. from ELITE!. Its called "Pact Of Warsaw" P:O:W. There should be a release comming soon i think.And there are even some remix-works...
