bo przecież chwile temu Aad stał nad grobemIMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING THE SINISTER NAME AND LINE-UP
Hi everyone,
I would like to briefly address the recent announcements on social media involving former Sinister members who haven't been in the band for almost 30 years. Our concern is specifically the use of the name. We believe this can create confusion for fans and promoters, giving the impression that this is an official or current incarnation of Sinister, which it is NOT.
First, let me make it clear who the original founders of the band are. In 1986, in my basement in Ridderkerk, a good friend of mine, Ron vd Polder and I started a band called REDEEMER, later on joined by Klaas Zwaving We changed our name to Sinister. Later on Corzas Nanuruw joined on bass.
Over the years, the band has gone through different line-ups, but Sinister has always remained the same band, with its own history, identity, and legacy. We fully respect the contributions that former members have made to Sinister's history and the music we created together. But that does not make someone a current member of Sinister, nor does it give them the right to represent themselves as another version of the band.
We understand that musicians may perform and celebrate music from their past. Tribute bands and former members playing songs from their history are nothing unusual in the music world.
So, it is very important to know: the name SINISTER is a registered trademark. We will take the appropriate legal steps to protect our rights and prevent unauthorized use of the name towards the other line-up and promoters booking that band. We would prefer to handle any legal or business matters privately and professionally, rather than turning them into a public dispute.
Most importantly, we want to focus our energy where it belongs: on the music, our fans, and the future of my band, with the new album coming out and live gigs our agency District19 is booking for us.
And for everyone wondering: I AM NOT DEAD. I am healthy again, feeling strong and looking forward to getting back on stage with Alesa, Stefano Rumich , and Frank Kruger to continue the story of Sinister. This line-up feels like family, and we are focusing on playing old-school sets that haven't been heard in decades.
So, REMEMBER: There is only one Sinister, and this is the real Sinister.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support us. We appreciate it more than you know. See you on stage!
Super pomysł, że też nikt nigdy na to nie wpadł!
