Rafiki

Im Jahre 2001 beschlossen Lorenz, Spritus und Reu die Band „Rafiki“ zu gründen. Gegen den allgemeinen finanzorientierten Trend, grölende Massen mit geklauten Hits zu befriedeigen, beschlossen die Jungs mit eigenen Kompositionen ihre Zuhörer zu beglücken. In einem 6 großen Proberaum entstanden ihre Lieder, mit denen sie in kurzer Zeit einen großen Fanstamm in ihrer Region gewinnen konnten. Doch schon damals spaltete Rafiki die alternative Szene, da ihre deutschsprachigen Texte nicht ausschließlich durch Punkrhythmen, sondern auch durch Ska- und Hard-Rock-Elemente musikalisch untermalt wurden.
