Excalibur
Band,
Rock and Pop
EXCALIBUR was a rock band from Vienna, that was formed by the three 13 to 14 years old kids Nikolaus Scharinger, Christian Kobold and Thomas "Ian Patrick" Tinhof in 1980. In the end of 1980 they presented their first gig at a school event, afterwards they played in different locations around Vienna, like TILL EULENSPIEGEL, SHOWBOAT and some youth centers. The climax of their band career was an own 7inch on ARICORD, usually a label for folk and classical music, with the help of parental connections. EXCALIBUR was intended to be a rock band, but they where able to combine melody, power and a little roughness in a song, like the one from their 7inch "Sweet Little Girl" which for austria is a more untypical powerpop pearl with some juvenile easiness. In 1983 the the band broke up, Niki moved to Amsterdam, and in the late 80s Cristian and Thomas formed the bands MINDBLOW and ST. MARX.
