Clarida - vocalsBobby Altvater - guitarTom Leonhardt - guitarWenz Weninger - bassAndreas Lindt - drums Band-info: A Melodic Hard Rock/AOR act that was formed in Munich in 1986, featuring one of the owners of the Sky Studio, Bobby Altvater (ex-Bad Eden). We guess Affair in their later stage was more or less a sort of band project to score a major deal or something. The line up often changed and the band worked with different musicians and singers in shortest time throughout the late 80’s. Musically the typical Munich sound prevails on all of the recordings, US american style AOR influenced catchy Glam Metal/Hard Rock like Boysvoice, Bonfire etc. was their thing, whenalso they never got signed by any label in the high season of the glammy days. The band was founded in September ’86 by Bobby Altvater, Tom Leonhardt, Wenz Weninger and Guillermo Marchena, who went on stage after drummer Andy Lindt had joined, first time ever in August ’87. Lindt nevertheless quit the Affair after just within late 1987 to start a pop career. Demos was produced in September 1988 when keyboarder Jogi found native american female singer Bonnie L. Clarida, who was invited to come to Germany, doing vocals for the songs "Back in love" and "Do it your way". In May/June 1989 Bobby met swiss keyboarder Alan Guy who joined in and Affair produced new Demo material in December 1989, sung by the female ex-4 Sale singer Claudia Haas in 1990. In December that year the female rock singer Joal called Bobby, searching for songs for her second album, so Bobby Altvater wrote the 3 songs "Changes", "Wish you were here" and "Face to face" as Demo material for Joal’s label, that she completed with vocals during February ’91. Ralf Kugler was recruited for the drum parts, but it turned out that the major label wasn’t much fond of the songs, so they could be used later for Affair’s selfproduced debut CD “Face to face”, though with different vocalist Peter De Wint (ex-Ostrogoth/Crossfire/Mystery), that Bobby picked up in 1995. They produced one more Demo for japanese label Avex Inc. and “Face to face” was available in Japan in October ’97. The european edition was manufactured on their own label Sky Productions. The second Affair CD “No substitute” appeared in October 02, not turning away a single meter from their original 80’s style.
