The story of the band began from a chat between Jonathan and Jaques
some late summer day in 2003. As they were very good friends from their
childhood and they had played in some mutual project in the past the
conversation headed towards band issues. Both agreed about the need to
get their musical urges into practice and the planning of a new hard
rock group started.
The planning got so far, that the group was formed almost completely on
that same table without the other members even knowing it yet. So, next
time they met Charles, they told him, he's going to be the keyboardist
in this new band, and there were no objections.
Jaques called up Tune to come and see, if we had a mutual line and he
ended up with guitar in his hands and microphone in front of him. So
the work to get songs together started, but the drummer was still
missing. After several ads in the net and tryouts, the drummer seat was
filled by Salaud, and the group seemed whole.
After long hours in the training basement the demo recordings for the
first release began.
On the way a need of a separate singer was rising, and the searching
began. But at this point Salaud stated, he was going to go back to his
former band and he didn't have the time to play on both bands as he had
other music related things going on also. But he promised to play the
drums on the forthcoming recordings. So the drums were recorded and the
band was still looking for a singer. Then one time Haiti, who had sang
in some band of Jaques' before, came to the training place and after
couple songs nobody had anything to ask. The band had a singer. Then
the recordings were finished and the search for a new drummer was going
on full speed.
Again after several ads, Niboe was found to the drummer seat, and
finally there was a whole band for the first time. Then the serious
training to fit the pieces together started and the band was ready to
play before the audience. The first three-song CD-EP was released in
the beginning of September 2004 and the band was concentrating for
getting new material for forthcoming gigs.
Some gigs were done and Tune decided to leave the band due the
long distance and urge for some heavier and blasting music. He then
founded Cresdence,
witch plays more that kind of music. D'partment came to the conclusion
that for now on the band would go with only one guitar and doesn't look
for a replacement for another one.
After a period Niboe came to a conclusion D'partment is not
the right kind of music for him and he decided to leave the band. Again
we had a line up shortage which fortunately didn't go on for long until
we came across with Silli. He came and filled the shortage and
everything seemed to go well again. But…
As we kept ourselves busy writing new material and doing some
demo recordings our paths with Haiti were seemingly getting more and
more distant and the result was that again we had a lie up shortage,
which unfortunately was not new to us. This time it wasn't so easy to
fill that place with high standards set on it.
Long time passed and some applicants were seen and heard and
finally a demo recording was made with Les Misé. Unfortunately our
paths together didn't go further much longer from those recordings but
then out of nowhere came an old band mate of Silli's.
D'partment saw a new kind of light with Jennyfer and that new
energy was the long waited power that drove D'partment towards a new
dawn. Now we are stronger than ever and a new demo recording is coming
out soon and we are looking forward to record a full length CD witch
has been waited for a too long time already.
So keep tuned for more. The story continues…
