Pierre Schwartz UK Version History (Danish version below)
As well as I remember, I've only taken it with more
established, as there was plenty of minor bands underway.
Mail if mistake and apologize to those I forgot ...
Play Louder ....
and may the force be with your Ibanez ....!
The beginning 1966 - 1971
I started playing guitar in 1966, where I got my first
guitar by my mother and father.
I was forced by my parents to go to guitar instruction on
Brøndbyvester school in Rømer Nielsen (60s guru of classical
guitar in th ecity Brøndby), the cause was that my mother
liked the guitar player Jørgen Ingemann very much.
I got a Höfner half audible in the size of a 6 years kid.
I have it still in good condition.
I was however a couple of Spanish classical guitars for my
learned guilt.
I learned music from day 1, diseased death, but invaluable
later on.
After 5 years in the classical school 1 diligence premium in
1970 and several school concerts, I decided to convert to
rock music.
Wounded Knee 1972-74
The first real school band consisting of Bo (guitar,
vocals), Kim (Drums), Per (bass) and myself (guitar).
We had great success in schools and youth clubs in Brøndby.
Quo 1975 - 1976
After the break in the Wounded Knee, Bo and I started Quo,
we played mainly Status Quo, Deep Purple and Credence
Clearwater Revival.
Here we found together with Michael (bass) and Steen
(drums).
Per returned to the band on bass and Mikkel took over the
drums.
Iron Dust 1977 - 1977
2 of the guys from the band later Freaks (DM Pop) Kim (bass)
and Jan (guitar) joined forces with Steen (drums) and I
(guitar).
We practiced mostly at "Tranum Parken's School" in Brøndby
Strand, and played just once in the youth club.
The style was forged to today's rhythms and rock.
Saturn 1978 - 1978
Dan (bass guitar) was probably one of Denmark's largest Kizz
fan.
Anyway we formed Saturn, where Bo (guitar) was back on
guitar and a sea of drummers that I can not remember by
names (please send info if you remember).
We also practiced at "the Deaf Institute" in Bülowsgade
Copenhagen.
Heavy Duty 1979 - 1980
A serious project with Allan (Guitar), Jens (bass guitar),
Bjarne (drums).
We practiced and practiced and practiced ....
the youth house at Bellahøj.
It was a few simple jobs and a multi-long recording in the
studio "Two-Step-Down" in Copenhagen, I still have the
original tapes (4 track 2"" real tape recorded on a 4 track
tape Teak Station, I even got the wheel tape machine), after
that then we broke up.
Allan and I formed "A La Basta".
A la basta 1980 - 1982
We first heard Lars (drums, later Cool Cats) and Kim (bass,
later Cool Cats) with.
Moreover XXX (Vocals / Sax).
The style was more Danish and we played only their own
numbers.
Rehearsals were "reconditioned" behind Sweet Silence Studio
in Amager. Willy
(drums) joined (and named the band), and it boosted things
up, along with Birger (Vocal).
We launched our first real concert hall Brumleby in Østerbro
with entrance and TV recording (DR), where the actual video
i stoday I do not know, please send info if you know where
it is..?
Zack 1988 - 1988
A musical digression beside Jays.
Heavy Metal preoccupied me more and more because it was a
technical and noisy challenge I wanted.
Zack was only a precursor to the more heavy and study
project with Flemming (Vocal / Jays), Palle (bass), Niels
(drums) and Greeks (Keyboard, forgot his name) I
"headhunted" him at a Greek restaurant in Østerbro, where he
played in a Zorba -
ensemble.
E.T Production 1987 - 1998
Was recruited by Erling Sibbern / Erik Thomsen as Stage
Manager / Production Manager.
I have made most of the heavy / rock concerts in Denmark,
ranging from Megadeth to Pink Floyd (see
more at home page).
Big Time 1989 - 1990
Another digression while Jays.
Big Time was the most ambitious and actually quite ok.
Mick (Vocals / Alien Force), Rene (bass / Posideon),
Frederick (drums / Poseidon / Jays).
Here we were playing rock stars with large S. We had jobs in
the Pumpehuset Copenhagen and Baghuset in Ballerup.
There was recorded ambitious in the rehearsal room at
Roskildevejen in Rødovre, teh band showed potential to grow
big, but i had to end it because of family reunification and
studies (Cand.polit.).
Aw, it was otherwise the greatest fun ...(DVD can be ordered
at this link)
Jays 1982 - 2006
Yes, we are back to cover music at full blast.
Jays started years back in the 70'thies, so it was just to
get on the road and play.
We started in August 1983 with Flemming (vocals), Tommy
(Keyboards), Jens-Ole (Bass / Boomerang) and Erik (drums /
Playboys).
Jays delivered mainstream dance music and entertainment.
We started as cover band at booking Bent Helvang, since solo
agreement with same booker and finally shed with Flemming
Sørensen (1997).
there were plenty of jobs for a change.
The band remained unchanged for may years except for the
drummers first there were Erik, Niels 1, Thomas 1, Frank,
Thomas 2,
Frederik, Niels 2 and finally Thomas
3 (Brabæk) who also plays in the current version of 5aLive.
Leadvocal list
Flemming left the band for a year in 1986-1987 and was
replaced with Leroy Collins, but came back to Jays in 1987
5aLive 2006 - ....
After the break with Flemming Gottfredsen the 4 of us
(Jens-Ole, Torsten, Thomas and I) agreed continue with new
singer from "Inex Jam" Bo Thers. It felt right
and we formed 5aLive.
We play the same style as in the past with Jays, but now the
band was on its own without a manager.
Bus and gear was continued from Jays. Bo decided to leave
5aLive in 2009.
New lead singer Lady Di (Dianna Iserhorst)
joined the band an did add a new angel to the band, our
first female singer.
Dianna (midle)
and Torsten (left) decided to leave the band December 2013
New vocalist Lisbet
Frisenette (left) and keyboard player Johannes Skjelbo
Frandsen (second left) joined the band in April 2014
Freinds 2008 - ....
Peter Klarskov was stand in for Bo at a few gigs in 5aLive.
Peter and i formed Freinds as a solo studio project, I did
all the playing and peter the singing. You can follow
freinds at the link.

Så
godt jeg husker, jeg har kun taget det mere
etablerede med, da der var masser af småbands
undervejs.
Mail
hvis fejl, og undskyld til dem jeg har glemt...
Play
louder.... and may the force be with your
Ibanez....! |

Start
1966 - 1971 |
|
Jeg
startede med at spille guitar i 1966, hvor jeg fik
min første guitar af min mor og far. Jeg blev
tvunget af mine forældre til at gå til guitar
undervisning på Brøndbyvester skole hos Rømer
Nielsen (60'ernes guru på klassisk guitar i Brøndby
omegn), årsag var at min mor syntes at Jørgen
Ingemann spillede godt. Jeg fik en Høfner
halvakustisk i oversize for en 6'årig knægt. Den har
jeg stadig i god stand. Jeg fik dog et par spanske
guitarer for min klassiske læres skyld. Jeg lærte
noder fra dag 1, dødssygt, men guld værd senere hen.
Efter 5 år i klassisk skole 1 flidhedspræmie i 1970
og adskillige skolekoncerter, besluttede jeg, at
hellige mig rock musik. |
|
Wounded Knee 1972-74 |
|
Det
første rigtige skole band bestående af Bo (Guitar,
Sang), Kim (Trommer), Per (Bas) og undertegnede
(Guitar). Vi havde stor success på skolerne og
ungdomsklubberne i Brøndbyerne |
|
Quo
1975 - 1976 |
|
Efter
bruddet i Wounded Knee Startede Bo og Jeg Quo, vi
spillede fortrinsvist Status Quo, Deep Purple og
Credens Clearwater Revival. Her fandt vi sammen med
Michael (Bas) og Steen (Trommer). Sener kom Per
tilbage på bas og Mikkel overtog trommerne.
|
|
Freaks
1977 - 1977 |
|
2 af
gutterne fra det senere orkester Freaks (DM i pop)
Kim (Bas) og Jan (Guitar) slog sig sammen med Steen
(Trommer) og jeg (Guitar). Vi øvede for det meste på
Tranumparkens Skole i Brøndby Strand, og spillede en
enkelt gang i ungdomsklubben. Stilen var
efterligninger at nutidens rytmer og rock.
|
|
Saturn
1978 - 1978 |
|
Dan
(Bas-Guitar) var vel nok en af Danmarks største Kizz
fan. I hvert fald dannede vi Saturn, hvor Bo
(Guitar) var tilbage på guitar og et hav af
trommeslagere som jeg ikke kan huske navnene på. Vi
øvede i øvrigt på døveinstituttet i Bülowsgade
København. |
|
Heavy
Duty 1979 - 1980 |
|
Et
seriøst projekt med Allan (Guitar), Jens (Bas),
Bjarne (Trommer). Vi øvede og øvede og øvede.... på
ungdomsgården ved Bellahøj. Det blev til et par
enkelt jobs og en multi lang indspilning i studiet
To-Trin-Ned i studiestræde Kbh. original tapes haves
stadig (4 spor 2"" real tape optaget på en 4 spors
Teak Tapestation), derefter brød vi. Allan og jeg
dannede A la basta. |
|
A la
basta 1980 - 1982 |
|
Vi fik
først Lars (Trommer, senere Cool Cats) og Kim (Bas,
senere Cool Cats) med. Hertil kom XXX (Sang/Sax).
Stilen blev mere dansk og vi spillede kun egne
numre. Øvelokalet blev "istandsat" bag Sweet Silence
Studio på Amager. Villy (Trommer) kom med, og det
satte skub i tingene, sammen med Birger (Sang). Vi
lancerede vores første rigtige koncert i Brumleby
forsamlingshus på Østerbro med entre og TV optagelse
(DR), hvor den optagelse er henne, ved jeg ikke, har
du den så skriv...? |
|
Jays
1983 - 2006 |
|
Ja, så
er vi der, tilbage til kopi musikken for fuld
udblæsning.
Jays
startede for år tilbage, så det var bare med at
komme på vognen, ud og spille. Vi startede i august
1993 med Flemming (Sang), Tommy (Keyboards),
Jens-Ole (Bas/Boomerang) og Erik (Trommer/Playboys).
Jays
er
mainstream dansemusik og underholdning. Vi startede
med at blive booket ud af Bent Helvang, siden solo
og endelig i stald hos Flemming Sørensen (1997).
Jobs var/er der masser af til en forandring.
|
|
E.T
Production 1987 - 1998 |
|
Blev
ansat af Erling Sibbern / Erik Thomsen som
Stagemanager / Produktion manager. Har lavet de
fleste Heavy/Rock koncerter i Danmark lige fra
Megadeth til Pink Floyd |
|
Zack
1988 - 1988 |
|
Et
musikalsk sidespring ved siden af
Jays.
Heavy Metal optog mig mere og mere, da det var en
teknisk og larmende udfordring, som jeg gerne ville.
Zack blev kun et forstadie til mere Heavy og studie
projekt med Flemming (Sang/Jays),
Palle (Bas), Niels (Trommer) og grækeren (Keyboard)
som jeg headhuntede på en græsk restaurant på
Østerbro, hvor han spillede i et zorba-ensemble.
|
|
Big
Time 1989 - 1990 |
|
Endnu
et sidespring samtidig med
Jays.
Big time var det mest ambitiøse og faktisk helt ok.
Mick (Sang/Alien Force), Rene (Bas/Posideon),
Frederik (Trommer/Poseidon/Jays).
Her legede vi rockstjerner med stort S. Vi havde
jobs i Pumpehuset og Baghuset i Ballerup. Der blev
indspillet ambitiøst i øvelokalerne på Roskilde vej
i Rødovre) men, da det var ved at ligne noget, sagde
jeg selv stop pga. familieforøgelse og studier
(Cand.polit.). Øv, det var ellers fedt... |
|
|
5aLive 2006 - .... |
|
Efter
bruddet med Flemming Gottfredsen, blev 4 af os
(Jens-Ole, Torsten, Thomas og jeg) enige om at prøve
med ny sanger fra Inex Jam Bo Thers. Det faldt godt
ud og vi dannede 5aLive. Vi spiller samme stil som i
det forgangne Jays, men er gået solo uden booking.
Bus og gear overtog vi fra Jays. Bo besluttede at
stoppe i 2009. Lady Di (Dianna Iserhorst) started i
5aLive som Bo's eftefølger. En ny era er started for
5aLive med den første kvindelige sanger i bandets
historie. |
|
|
Freinds 2008 - .... |
|
Peter
Klarskov var stand in for Bo på et par jobs i
5aLive. Peter og jeg dannede Freinds som et solo
studio project, Jeg spiller alt musik og Peter
synger. du kan se mere via linket. |
