Rock'N'Roll Sensations The Baseballs Reveal October Tour Dates & Tickets
Three certified, out-and-out rock'n'roll singers complete with rockabilly forelocks happened to meet in a tea room in a typical heavy metal rehearsal bunker in Berlin. They recognise each other based on their common hairstyle, start jamming and form a band whose debut album lands in shops across the country a little later. Sounds far-fetched? But it's true. Now after some blistering festival appearances they have announced their own headline UK Tour in the autumn. By mistake, Sam wanted to audition for a cover band and made his way from southern Germany to Berlin. Digger lived in Cologne, but was visiting his big sister and helping out in his brother-in-law's band. And Basti lived in Berlin anyway. It must have been Fate. This was a new evolution of the musical heritage of Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly & Co.: "Voc'n'Roll" was born and The Baseballs at the same time.
