"....the
band boasts the....prodigious drumming of Joachim Greve...." BLUES IN BRITAIN
Joachim Greve drums
Joachim Karl Greve ...to be precise. Joachim was born
just a stone's throw away from the north pole into a family of
moderately successful tea growers. After figuring out that tea
farming would only be profitable again in the arctic circle around
the year 2371, Greve became disgruntled with his lot as he was
unwilling to wait that long. At 2 1/2 years old he thought enough is
enough and decided to emigrate to the US in order to commit suicide
so he could be born again under a more favourable set of
circumstances and start afresh. After proving to US custom officials
that he had read all major works by Droonard Cullwinkle on the
evitable and inevitable consequences of successful suicide he was
admitted under the condition that he would not waste any more time.
Having never found a building or bridge worthy of committing suicide
from, he regrouped and became a hermit. Here, through years of
phlegmatic reflection, he developed the "I don't care - you do
it!" drumming style where one hand relies on the other to do the
playing. An approach which was a runaway success with predominantly
single-handed female hermits in the woodlands of Delaware. Having
established a reputation as an opinionated, self-obsessed but
ambidextrous drummer of extreme mood swings, "Puro Bandido"
counted themselves lucky when they hired Greve in exchange for some
Danish pastry and a pint of good Belgian beer.
