A Rock Band that was formed in July/August of 1980, in the city of Aschaffenburg, Germany. Originally founded by Franz Ullrich (Vocals), Ritchie (Klaus) Reichardt (Guitar), Lexel Hain (Drums), and Joey Costello (Bass). After a few weeks of writing original material we performed our first concert on October 11, 1980 at the Heylands Schwind in Aschaffenburg. A few weeks after this gig, Lexel left the band and Frajo Kromerich joined the band. The band stayed in this line up until November of 1981, and then Gundy Keller became Stampede's guitarist. We made a self-titled LP in April of 1981 and toured around Europe quite a bit.
Franz had asked me about Gundy, we had seen him preform with the former band he played with(Yuma)and I liked the hard driving style he has.
