Music begin to follow me then. I been trying to stop playing, thinking ‘bout preparing my soul for Jesus… Just look like I can’t put music down.
Time I get hold of one guitar and I maybe sell it to somebody, well music just come back to me and worry me so, I just have to go back and buy me another guitar…

History of the Aras, Part 1.
Stefan Schlensag:
Born and bred in the Valley of the Ruhr. Founding member of the garage-band “The Hipsters”.
“The Hipsters” put out four records working for different labels including Glitterhouse and SPV. They were well-known throughout the country for their furious stage performance. The group disbanded after 10 years, having played about 500 live shows. After the band’s break-up Stefan began to explore his interest in folk and blues, first with “The Better Day Organization” and later with the short-lived “monochord”. “The Better Day Organization” recorded a 10’ entitled “Nantucket” for Roland Heinrich’s label “Wonderlamp”.
Stefan Schlensag lives in Essen and works in the department of British Literature and Cultural Studies at Dortmund University.
