AFFAIR actually exists since 1987. Having played numerous live-shows the band became local heroes. Until 1992, after different line-up changes AFFAIR supported acts like GOTTHARD, F.M. and MOTHER'S FINEST on their tours through Germany. At that time the first album "Face To Face" was almost finished, when the lead singer had to quit the band. It took 3 more years til early 1995 guitarist / producer Bobby Altvater got to know the outstanding voice of Peter De Wint from Antwerp/Belgium: He used to sing in groups like OSTROGOTH and MYSTERY which is well known for their smashing albums all over Europe and Japan. Besides his brilliant voice and his perfect live performance, Peter is known to be the perfect sound-tech and producer for acts like TERRA NOVA, VENGEANCE, HAREM SCAREM and GLENN HUGHES. Finally, "Face To Face" was released in 1997 by Altvater's label Sky Productions. In 1999 the band started to work for the new songs in the actual line-up and in October 2000 Bobby Altvater took up the production for the new album. Bobby Altvater started out with his first band BAD EDEN in 1980. Since 1988 he owns the recording facility Sky Studio in Munich, where he produced more than 100 rock-albums for bands like AVALON, BOICE VOICE, BONFIRE, FRONTLINE, HOTWIRE, RAILWAY, SABU, ZAR and of course AFFAIR! In 1991 Bobby also worked with HAROLD FALTERMEYER and CHRIS THOMPSON. In the 90'ies acts like RUSS BALLARD, KIP WINGER, JOE LYNN TURNER relied on his abilities behind the engineer´s and producer´s desk. The great line-up is completed with musicians from BONFIRE and SERUM.
