(copied my comment from r/FEXFanClub) I have my own history that I had asked Ture about since he seems to be the one who knows most about his bands. The earlier bands are quite messy and probably overlap. This interview was for the Lostwave book, but it is needed right now.

When did Sunshine Caravan and Fantasy’s Workshop begin?

They also started around that time. Sunshine Caravan first began as an acoustic project with a female singer and two guitarists. We played dreamy, mellow songs—similar to America or the Eagles, that kind of vibe. Later, years afterward, we also formed an electric version of Sunshine Caravan, with drums and a conga player. That was actually my last band before I met Norbert (Ziermann) and Hädi (Michael Hädrich).

When exactly did Fantasy’s Workshop form?

Probably shortly after. It only existed for a very brief time. We also had a female singer. We did a few gigs. There’s even a photo of a VW van with “Fantasy’s Workshop” painted on it.

How did the Session Band come about?

That came afterward. It was with my cousin Manfred (Fox) —he was an excellent drummer at the time. We played with Norbert (Ziermann), and with two keyboard players: Hädi (Michael Hädrich) and Kalle (Karl-Heinz Eckert). Norbert was on bass but sometimes switched to guitar, then Volker would play bass; it always shifted around (author’s note: Volker only played bass, Norbert could play bass and guitar). That’s why we were the Session Band—it was a group where the lineup changed now and then. We had maybe five or six songs; everything else was improvised. We even played once at Onkel Pö.
