Boomstate was formed back in 1996 by lead singer/songwriter Jim Lau and
his friend Harry Elektron, a multi-talented
experimentalist. Basist HP
Marksman (ex Earth's Impossible Day) became the next to join the band.
After the "release" of 4 demos and continuous changes in their line-up,
the band recorded their first LP in the year 2002. The line-up was: Jim
Lau, Harry Elektron, HP Marksman, Babyluck, Foot and Chris Mega.
Unfortunately that album never made it to the cd stores due to
unfulfilled promises... The last one to join the band was drummer Theo
in the year 2003. Despite the fact that the shows were great, the group
started suffering from dysfunctionality. Each one for his own reasons,
Foot, Babyluck and Chris decided to leave the band in 2005 but
Boomstate had to suffer another, greater loss. Co-founder Harry
Elektron had to stop playing with the band and go abroad due to
personal reasons.
Today Boomstate consists of Lau, Marksman and Theo and they recently managed to get their first record deal on Rundevilrun Records, a new
independent greek label.
