And One (Band)A German synthpop band which formed after Steve Naghavi and Chris Ruiz met in 1989 at a Berlin club. History Being fans of early EBM music, Naghavi and Ruiz decided to follow in the footsteps of Synth-pop band Depeche Mode by using two keyboards and a beatbox. The duo became a trio with the addition of Alex Two, prior to the release of their debut album, Anguish. Going into the release of Anguish they had already garnered a decent following through touring and appearances at various parties. With their debut release they took home the "Best New Artist" award in Germany in 1991. While Naghavi is still with the band, Ruiz left in 1992. The band is now comprised of 4 members: Steve Naghavi, Joke Jay (replacing Ruiz), Rick Schah (replacing Two) and Annelie Bertilsson. And One has released on two different record labels, leaving Machinery Records for Virgin Records around 1996-97. While label/distributor Metropolis Records currently handling portions of their distribution.
Politics The members of And One have firm convictions about war. This is evident in light of the release of the single, Aus Der Traum in 1991 with portions of the proceeds going to Greenpeace. In 2003 they released the single Amerika Brennt (loosely translatedhttp://babelfish.altavista.com/tr to mean: America Burns). Their Official web sitehttp://www.andone.de/ in it's current state may be found as offensive, though it seems after translationhttp://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/trurl_pagecontent?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.andone.de%2F&lp=de_en that the band is being satirical.
