about
Saint Towel is a german indie-folk band which was formed in late 2004 by Alexander Voelz and Tim Garling in Wismar(in the north of Germany. Garling (bass) and Voelz (vocals and guitar) got to know each other in school when they started their first band called Trivial. Besides a lot of different influences they see themselves as part of the „New Acoustic Movement“. The name „Saint Towel“ is an allusion to "The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy", a novel by Douglas Adams.According to the book a towel is the most important thing in the galaxy. A few local concerts later they recorded their first album "42" (another allusion to Douglas Adams) in 2005 without having any kind of record deal.In the summer of 2005 Flaschenpfand-leadsinger Lars "Lalle" Hermann(guitar, vocals) joined the band. In the end of 2006 Saint Towel recorded another self-produced album called "When Minor Chords Meet Sad Hearts". In 2007 after a concert in the pub where the guys used to spent most of their youth they declared a temporary split. Before finding together all of them used to work on side-projeks such as Lex & The Heartbreakers (Hermann & Voelz), The Bernstein Empire (Voelz) or Electronic Brainwash Inc. (Garling). In 2010 the band revealled that they're working on new songs for an upcoming album named "III: House Of Ghosts".
