Jade biography

There are many differents vocalists, acts and bands called Jade. Feel free to add new Jades, but please don't delete the ones that are already there. This page is for all Jades, not just the Jade you prefer. 27. JADE is a quartet band from the former East Germany. Founded in August 1987 at Fürstenwalde. Their music plays around avantgarde, new wave synths, and alternative rock, all written in English, which is quite rare for GDR artists to write a song in English. The musicians justified their decision to sing in English by saying that the language was more singable and more useful for their goal of conveying emotions and would help reach a wider audience among young music lovers. They got a professional debut in 1989. They usually plays at the workshop week of youth dance music in Frankfurt/Oder. Numerous TV, radio appearances, and tours abroad took the band to the Soviet Union twice. It was also the year when their first record was released. Jade's Amiga-Quartett, with the song "Sky", "Living", "Money", and "Mine". After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the group's outlook apparently changed as well. There were no opportunities to perform and so the band split up in 1990. In 2012, JADE celebrated a comeback after more than 20 years. With the exception of Matthias Rudolph, the former drummer. All of the original musicians were back. Harald Wenzek has been drumming for JADE since the band was re-formed. New song material has also been created in the meantime. Unlike in the 80s, the band's lyrics are now in German. The band plays live concert occassionally. For example, in April 2014, they play at the Inselbiergarten on the Ziegenwerder in Frankfurt/Oder. JADE released theor second album "Wilde Pferde" in spring 2017. It's a four-song EP CD.
