00:03Pink Cream 69 is a German hard rock band that was founded in Karlsruhe in 1987.
00:10The band was particularly successful in Europe and Japan and gained widespread recognition when their singer, Andy Derris, became the
00:18new frontman of the power metal band Halloween in 1994.
00:21Pink Cream 69 was founded in 1987 by Andy Derris, Alfred Koffler, and Costa Zafirio.
00:30Dennis Ward joined shortly thereafter.
00:32The band won the Metal Hammer Newcomer Contest in 1988 and subsequently received a record deal with CBS Records.
00:40Their self-titled debut album was released in 1989.
00:44The song One Step Into Paradise in particular was a sought-after hit on the European rock scene.
00:50Their second album, One Size Fits All, followed in 1991.
00:55It is considered by many to be the band's best album and enabled them to tour further across Europe and
01:01even Japan.
01:02While they were far from achieving the success of the Scorpions or Accept, they hoped to emulate the success of
01:08Victory or Bonfire.
01:09In 1993, the rather weak album Games People Play was released.
01:14And combined with the changing music landscape, the album did not sell very well.
01:20In 1994, frontman Andy Derris finally left the band and replaced Michael Kiske in Halloween.
01:27He was replaced by David Redman.
01:29The band made occasional appearances on German TV and went on local tours.
01:34They even continued to produce music consistently until 2017.
01:38However, they never achieved major success or went on world tours again.
02:07The band made occasional music plays in the middle of the band.
