SILVERLANE - that’s the name of the band which sees Subway To Sally drummer Simon Michael live out his penchant for partially
progressive, but always melodic and symphonically inclined power metal in the tradition of Edguy, Avantasia, Kamelot and Gamma
Ray. Back in 1995, the then 11-year-old formed the band together with his brother Chris (guitar, backing vocals), sister Dodo
(keyboards, backing vocals) and school friend, Daniel Saffer (bass) - more or less as a family business, gathering initial experience

SILVERLANE - that’s the name of the band which sees Subway To Sally drummer Simon Michael live out his penchant for partially
progressive, but always melodic and symphonically inclined power metal in the tradition of Edguy, Avantasia, Kamelot and Gamma
Ray. Back in 1995, the then 11-year-old formed the band together with his brother Chris (guitar, backing vocals), sister Dodo
(keyboards, backing vocals) and school friend, Daniel Saffer (bass) - more or less as a family business, gathering initial experience
in composing songs as a joint venture.
This experience was soon to pay off: in the middle of working on his self-composed journeyman’s piece, LEGENDS OF SAFAR (2005)
- a concept album which he distributed himself, selling 1,000 copies without promotion - the drummer applied for a position with
Germany’s medieval rock music institution, Subway To Sally. The band were so impressed with the amazing skills of the talented
young drummer that they made him a sensational offer: “Let us know by tomorrow morning, ten o’ clock, whether you want to join
us!” The rest is rock history, at least as far as Simon Michael’s work with the band from Potsdam is concerned. This, however, didn’t
automatically mean the end of SILVERLANE. In fact, the opposite was the case: together with Ecki Singer, a 23-year-old, strong-
voiced powerhouse of a vocalist, and guitarist Uli Holzermer, Michael has been working simultaneously on his band’s official album
debut “My Inner Demon”, due out on 20 February 2009. « hide |
