CENTAURUS-A is coming up with great news by introducing Marc Dzierzon as our new drummer! We are more than happy to welcome Marc officially in our collective while work on our upcoming album is speeding up again. We had some really inspiring rehearsals and the new songs getting in harsh shape!

EXPECT IT FAST & BRAWNY!

We are searching for an ambitious & motivated drummer joining CENTAURUS-A to work with us on our second album and to play live. You should be able to play fast & tight. Groove and creativity is appreciated. If you're interested please get in contact:

After 11 years of blasting our founding member, drummer and long-time friend Patrick Schroeder has decided to leave CENTAURUS-A!

Over the years Patrick has shifted his musical focus and is now looking forward dedicating his passion, time and energy to new projects. Sad but insightfully CENTAURUS-A thanks Patrick for enriching the band with both his personality and musicianship! Gratefully, we're looking back on precious experience such as fruitful writing sessions, overwhelming live shows, stressful but awesome recordings and numerous memorable moments.

Patrick, for your future and all your musical endeavours we wish you all the best!
Maik, Johannes, Hernan & Michael

Dear all,
it's time to give you some news and updates about CENTAURUS-A!

After a great and succesful year 2009 - playing a number of awesome shows and festivals, meeting nice fans & bands and finally having a lot of fun on the road - we would like to express our gratitude and say THANK YOU! to David Appelhans. David jumped in as a live drummer for the last year's shows and did a hell of a job.

At the same time, we are happy to welcome back Patrick on drums!

Since January 2010 we're back in our dark 20sqm rehearsal room to work on the follow-up of our debut album SIDE EFFECTS EXPECTED. So far we've completed the first new song and three others are in the run and already in an advanced stage. The next months, we will focus on writing and arranging more songs and material and our rough idea is going to record in the end of the year. We'll keep you updated!

Furthermore, we will launch a webshop the next couple weeks and offer you a new killer shirt design. Check back for that later on!
