Hitting the stages of rock clubs in early 2004, The Gates of Berlin have quickly established themselves as undeniable force in the southern music community. This Atlanta-based five piece had risen from the ashes of former local favorites Vin Correjo. Building from an already dedicated fan base, the band set out to redefine pop sensibility. Exceeding critic's expectations, their unique style of southern-infused powerpop has set them apart from today's traditional live musical acts.
Named after the legendary "gating" technique used in the recording of David Bowie's Heroes, The Gates of Berlin draw heavily from the 70's post glam era. While they've been compared to contemporary bands such as the Postal Service and Pleasure Forever, The Gates of Berlin have also been influenced by classic artists such as The Stooges, T-Rex and the Kinks. Their eclectic musical styling encompasses everything from raw southern rock to dance-friendly powerpop. Infectious vocal harmonies, assaulting melodies and a thunderous rhythm section provide the basis for this dynamic musical experience.
As the number of their performances increased, so did the underground buzz surrounding them. News of their energetic live shows spread like wild fire, making them one of Atlanta's most sought after musical acts. Having packed out such venues as the Earl, the Star Bar, The Drunken Unicorn and Tasty World, they made a solid name for themselves in the Atlanta/Athens area. Armed with a loyal following and a commitment to rock, The Gates of Berlin have become Atlanta's cure for the common band.
