1987 Pink Cream 69 are ALIVE AND KICKING!. The line-up: Alfred Koffler, Kosta Zafiriou, Dennis Ward and Andi Deris.
1988 PC 69 are the winning-band of the Metal Hammer newcomer competition at the Rockfabrik Ludwigsburg/Germany. The almost logical consequence: Several major offers. Pink Cream 69 sign with CBS (today: Sony Music).
1989 The debut album is in the stores and is enthusiastically received by fans and media. Pink Cream 69 start their first European tour as support of White Lion.
1990 PC 69 over America ! Within a year filled with numerous concert engagements Pink Cream 69 is invited to play the "New Music Seminar" in New York.
1991 The follow-up "ONE SIZE FITS ALL" is released in Europe and Japan, hits the charts in several European countries and peaks in Germany in the top 20. The headlinertour, supported by the "Little Angels", turns out to be a huge success.
1992 PC 69 in Japan! The band plays five celebrated shows and uses these shows to produce their video "SIZE IT UP! LIVE IN JAPAN" which is released later that year. With their three-month tour through 14 countries, PC 69 makes itself a name as one of the hardest working bands in the rock-scene.
1993 The third album "GAMES PEOPLE PLAY", again produced by Drik Steffens, is beeing released. In November the guys get back on the road for an extensive tour.
1995 Singer Andi Deris leaves the band and joins the Hamburg/Germany based band Helloween. The three remaining band members recruit David Readman from Great Britain and produce their fourth album "CHANGE" with producer Shay Baby in Los Angeles. This album tends towards a different musical direction - it has a modern, more open sound. On the followed up headliner-tour David Readman convinces the fans of his abilities and, from the first show on, is accepted.
1997 "FOOD FOR THOUGHT", the bands fifth longplayer, appears under courtesy of high gain records. In May and June, PC 69 start out on a large tour through Germany. On the occassion of their tenth band-anniversary, Pink Cream took the chance and recorded several gigs of the tour. "LIVE", the first official concert-recording, is released in October.
1998 Pink Cream 69 are back with a bang! With "ELECTRIFIED", their strongest album up to this point, the guys prove to old and new fans that "back to the roots" can also be innovative. In December they are on the road again with Bruce Dickinson.
1999 Pink Cream 69 over Japan. Together with ex-Royal-Hunt-singer D.C.Cooper, on which first solo album the PC69-guys were participating, the band is touring the land of the rising sun again. In fall they start working for the upcoming studio release "SONIC DYNAMITE". Three month of extensive work, with a short break for a little tour in Southamerica and a shot of "SHAME" for a German TV-movie.
2000 "SONIC DYNAMITE" is released on February 21st on Massacre Records. In April Pink Crem 69 will do a co-headlining-tour with their labelmates Axxis. And there is still more to come. Watch out !
