It's like everyone has a backstage pass!

Hi Metal Heads….
Wir sind stolz Euch mitteilen zu können das unser kleines Rocksternchen „ Samantha Pearl Hilgers“ mit 54 cm und 3680 Gr. am 6.7.2009 gesund die Metal Welt erblickt hat.
Uns geht es fantastisch und die kleine ist ungewöhnlich ruhig, wenn man bedenkt das WIR die Eltern sind, obwohl Sie im Bauch schonmal kräftig an den Bassdrums gearbeitet hat.
Gesanglich ist Sie auch schon weit vorne….allerdings nur wenn Sie Hunger hat. Umso mehr stolz sind wir das wir somit auch das erste RAGE – BABY in 25 Jahren Bandgeschichte zur Welt gebracht haben.
Peavy & Victor waren ja schon im Vorfeld stolz wie Oskar, was Ihr bei dem ein oder anderen Gig schon feststellen konntet.
An dieser Stelle geht nochmal ein ganz ganz grosser Dank an alle Metal Heads die bei meinem ersten Gig als Vater„ Masters of Rock - CZ“ zu Tausenden gebrüllt haben und mir Tränen in die Augen schossen. You´re beautiful!
Bedanken uns schonmal für alle zahlreichen Glückwünsche der letzten Tage und denen die da noch kommen.
Stay Heavy und keep the metal flame alive!!!!

André , Sandra & Sam

Hi Metal Heads
We are proud to let you know, that our little rock star "Samantha Pearl Hilgers" has come into the Metal world healthily on 6th of July 2009, weighing 3680 gram and 54 cm.
We are feeling fantastic and the little girl is unusually quiet, considering, that WE are the parents, although she has powerfully worked on the bass drums in the belly before. Vocally, she's in the vanguard, but only when she's hungry.
All the more proud we are, that in the 25 years lasting band history, we brought the first RAGE – BABY into the world. In the forefront, Peavy & Victor were already completely nuts, you might have noticed that at one of the last gigs. At this point a very, very big thanks to all the thousand Metal heads, who screamed at the Masters of Rock (CZ), my first gig as father, shooting tears into my eyes. You´re beautiful!
We say thanks for the numerous of congratulations during the last days and those, who will come.
Stay heavy and keep the metal flame alive!!!!

20.11.08 Rage @ Bundesvision Contest

Potsdam freut sich auf Stefan Raabs „Bundesvision Song Contest 2009“
Stefan Raab rockt Potsdam: 16 Bands aus den 16 Bundesländern treten im nationalen Länderwettstreit gegeneinander an. In der Metropolis-Halle u.a. mit dabei: Peter Fox, Deichkind, Polarkreis 18 und Sven van Thom. ProSieben überträgt den „Bundesvision Song Contest 2009“ am Freitag, 13. Februar um 20.15 Uhr, LIVE.
2008 holte Subway to Sally den Sieg nach Brandenburg. Dank der Mittelalter-Rocker steigt Stefan Raabs „Bundesvision Song Contest 2009“ in Potsdam. Beim nationalen Band-Contest in der Metropolis-Halle starten 16 Musik-Acts als Vertreter für ihr jeweiliges Bundesland. Der Gastgeber Brandenburg schlägt diesmal leisere Töne an und schickt Pop-Musiker Sven van Thom ins Rennen, der 2008 mit seiner Debüt-Single „Trauriges Mädchen“ auf sich aufmerksam machte. Unter den Teilnehmern sind auch im nächsten Jahr wieder Musiker mit „Bundesvision Song Contest“-Erfahrung: Peter Fox holte als Frontmann der Gruppe Seeed 2006 den Titel nach Berlin. Drei Jahre später steht er als Solokünstler erneut für die Hauptstadt im Wettbewerb und gehört nach seinen Erfolgsongs "Alles neu" und "Haus am See" zu den heißen Favoriten. Doch die Konkurrenz ist groß. Mit Polarkreis 18 nimmt für Sachsen eine Band teil, die bereits seit vier Wochen mit "Allein, Allein" auf Platz Eins der Singlecharts steht. In Potsdam starten sie mit dem Song "The Colour Of Snow". Und für Hamburg geht mit Deichkind ein weiterer prominenter Wiederholungstäter an den Start. Die Kombo ist bereits in der ersten Ausgabe des nationalen Länder-Wettbewerbs 2005 angetreten. Außerdem für Baden-Württemberg dabei ist Cassandra Steen, die aktuell zusammen mit Xavier Naidoo in dem Song „Wann“ zu hören ist.
Auch in der fünften Auflage von Stefan Raabs „Bundesvision Song Contest“ bestimmen die Zuschauer den Gewinner. Per Telefon und SMS wählen sie ihren Favoriten. Lokalpatriotismus ist durchaus erwünscht: Auch für das eigene Bundesland darf abgestimmt werden. Wesentliche Teilnahmebedingung ist: der Song muss mindestens zu 50 Prozent deutschsprachig sein. Bereits ab dem 19. Januar 2009 stellen die Bands ihr Bundesland und ihren Song bei „TV total“ vor.
Alle Teilnehmer in der Kurzübersicht:
Cassandra Steen (Baden-Württemberg)
Claudia Koreck (Bayern) – „I wui dass du woasst“
Peter Fox (Berlin) – „Schwarz zu blau“
Sven van Thom (Brandenburg) – „Jaqueline (ich hab Berlin gekauft)“
Flowin Immo et les Freaqz (Bremen) – „Attersee“
Deichkind (Hamburg) – „Luftbahn“
Fräulein Wunder (Hessen) – „Sternradio“
Marteria (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern) – „Zum König geboren“
Fotos (Niedersachsen) – „Du fehlst mir“
Rage (Nordrhein-Westfalen) – „Gib Dich Nie Auf“
Pascal Finkenauer (Rheinland-Pfalz) – „Unter Grund“
Ruben Cossani (Schleswig Holstein) – „Bis auf letzte Nacht“
Pilot (Saarland) – „Mein Name ist“
Polarkreis 18 (Sachsen) – „The Colour Of Snow”
Angela´s Park (Sachsen-Anhalt) – „Generation Monoton“
Chapeau Claque (Thüringen) – „Pandora (kiss Miss Tragedy)”
Der „Bundesvision Song Contest 2009“ – am Freitag, 13. Februar 2009, um 20.15 Uhr LIVE auf ProSieben.
