DESTINY BIOGRAPHY
"Destiny"
was founded in 1981 by mastermind "Dave Pollack". We first started
as a record - label and put out a couple of EPs and compilation
albums of punk and hardcore bands from Berlin like: Porno Patrol,
The Rest, Sick Pleasure, No Allegiance etc... During the 80s we
released more full lenght studio and live-albums of The Rest, No
Allegiance, MDC, Rich Kids On LSD, Squandered Message, No Pigs,
Vellocet, Nickanuke, Verbal Abuse etc...
To promote the releases better we began to organize European wide
tours for our bands. At the end of the 80s our office was still
based in Daves bedroom. At this time the record label wasn´t doing
very well, so we decided to put more interest in booking European
- Tours for melodic punk and hardcore bands from California. Destiny
- International - Tourbooking & Soundfabrik was born. We dont know
exactly where the "Soundfabrik" thing came from. It probably was
the idea of the guy who made our very first business - stamps.
1990 we moved in our first real but very little office- rooms in
Oranienstrasse (Berlin-Kreuzberg). For 3 years we booked out of
this very small office on tours for bands like: Bad Religion, Mind
over Four, Pennywise, The Obsessed, Celebrity Skin, Happy Hour,
NOFX, SNFU, Lag Wagon, Rich Kids on LSD, Verbal Abuse, The Offspring,
Rancid, Green Day, Youth Brigade, GWAR, Down by Law etc... The "Punk
Boom" came and we had to work our arses of and definetly needed
help. We had to move again.... The new office was big, there was
more bands to book, more employees to feed, more bills to pay, more
work, more talk.
Today we are one of the biggest tourbooking agencies for alternative
music in europe.
