Ssleeping DesiresS - Tears

William Lennox (vocals, keyboards) and André Schreiber (bass), went to the same school in a small town in the north of Dortmund (Germany). In 1981, they decided to form a band, at the time when Postpunk / New Wave movement emerged. This was the birth time of the “Days Of Sorrow”. The first four piece line-up included Wolfram Huber (guitar) and Nicolai Sabotka (drums). John Tollhaus overheard them playing their song "Wild World" by chance, during a rehearsal and immediately offered the band to release this song on a New Wave sampler, he was planning to release. After staying for the entire rehearsal, he quickly changed his plans, wanting to produce the band's first 12” EP. Several months later, the EP “Remembering The Days” was published by Tollhaus Records in 1984. Later on, Claudio Stöber (keyboards) joined the band to relieve William of keyboard playing and Kurt Voigt (drums) replaced Nicolai on the drums. In 1985 Rainer Kitzmann replaced John Tollhaus as band manager and the "Days Of Sorrow" signed a contract with Rough Trade Records. Following up with two 7” single versions of "Wild World" and another 12” EP, called “A Thousand Faces” in 1986, shortly ahead of a scheduled Spanish tour, the band split up. In December 2017 William and André reformed "Days Of Sorrow", producing new material.
