The history of Kordova began in the summer of 2002 in Wolfen (Saxony-Anhalt). Two blackdressed eleventh-grade students, Chrystian Engel and Denis Lorenz, made their own wish come true, their own band. After they both chose an instrument, Engel playing the guitars and Denis the bass, it was now the mission to find a proper drummer. The choice was easy to make. In Wolfen, a small city in the heart of East-Germany, there is no huge assortment of instrumentalists. The only realistic option was Patrick Stiehler, who got thrown out of his old band E.D.K. So there was the first and not the last bandoccupation. The first rehearsalroom was a 10m2 small pigsty on the realty of the Lorenz-Family, which became a real pain in the ass in the next winter.

After some musically poor months, it seemed to be a good idea to hire a second guitarist. Nevertheless an approach of a song, first called 'Porno', was made during this time but it reminded more of an abuse of instruments. Also this problem could be managed quickly. Stiehler suggested Tobias Kolasinski, also a student of the same Highschool, same grade and old fellow of the drummer. He even played in the "Wannabe"-Punkband E.D.K. with Stiehler, but was forced to leave them by Patrick's advice. The real circumstances about that are still debatable.whatever.Despite of Engel's initial scepticism, Kola was invited anyway. After the band tried to keep Kola on distance, Kobold asked him to join the trio. Because a band of his own was a huge dream since his childhood, he agreed at once.



Shortly befor Kola joined, the name of the band was chosen. The list of name-selections wont be named anymore to protect us from scorn. The world isn't ready for that, yet. 'Kordova' was the winner. But the only one who can explain how the name was picked is Engel, the inventor of it. The fisrt song of the four got the. sort of unconventional title "Beer". To give a title to instrumental songs of the band is still an applied method of Kordova. Engel began to strum a nice melody, which became a part of a following new song.
