The Bates
Band,
Rock
A.k.a. Ralf Eden (2)
Formed 1985 in Wiener Neustadt as Bates Men by ex-Dämmerattacke-members Thomas Guth (voc., organ) and Wolfgang Leinweber (drums) who recruited Hannes Eder (bass), Dieter Nemetz (guitar) and Joe Stickler (synth). They self-released 7" Für Immer / Das Schweigen before changing their name into The Bates . Their second 7", I See Love In Your Eyes / You're Better Than Me was finally released on new label Cactus Records (3) which had been founded by friends. After another 12" EP on RST Records, featuring a Goth Rock cover version of The Glitter Band's "Angel Face" they had to change their band name into Bates Unlimited due to a legal controversy with the German band The Bates. Disbanded in 1994 with Nemetz and Bechtloff forming Seven Ages.
