Back in 1997 Dada Ante Portas was formed in Lucerne, Switzerland. The five musicians had been playing in different local rockbands and were not nonames anymore around Lucerne. Therefore it did not take long until they became sort of the local heros. In the beginning Dada Ante Portas did not just play music, but played live absurd theatres, read dadaistic poems and offered weired performances. The development, however, lead the group to more conventional rock.
After several gigs all over Switzerland Dada Ante Portas got a deal with Warner Switzerland and released the first album "Playin' Hooky" in 2001. In the following, the band played 70 gigs in Switzerland and Germany and sold, most of them after the shows, over 10000 units. In 2002 the record was followed by "Bound For Nowhere" which took the band on a tour through Germany and Denmark, opening for the German rockband "Die Happy".
More melancholic was "Seasons Change" in 2004. The album entered the Swiss Charts at #3. "She Cries For Someone Else" turned out to be the most played Radiosong among all songs played by Swiss artists. The band played a sold out tour throughout Switzerland. Two years later "Superbixen" came out and charted at #4. Another tour followed during which Dada Ante Portas once more proofed to be one oft the most vivid, solid and ecstatic acts these days.
In January 2008 the fifth album "The Theory Of Everything" entered the album charts at position 2. A sold out tour was following. Right now the band is planing to tour other countries in Europe. Check it out, if the boys are near...to be continued, ladies and gentleman!
