All three band members have shaped Swiss music in the last 20 years. Drummer Ueli Spoerri has been playing with pop-musician Russo and americana-songwriter Hank Shizzoe (2 Albums, 170 concerts in whole Europe). Singer/guitarplayer Matthias Müller had a Viva-top-ten-hit with his old band Selfish in the 90s. Guitarist Lukas Müller and Matthias Müller were playing together in an underground -band twenty years ago. With The Formers, the guys are ready to start a new chapter, especially because they are now completed by their brand new hero on the bass, Roland Bergmann.
