Piss Promise was born Pist Gromis in Hamburg, Germany. “At 14, my parents sent me to school in Berlin to study the classical glockenspiel. It was not until I was 16 that I discovered my true love, the guitar. It was accidental.

At this time, I was a boarding student and a boy musician from down the hall had his appendix explode, quite unexpectedly. They rushed him to the hospital, but it was too late, he was dead. I snuck into his room and took his guitar. That was that. The next day, I sold my glockenspiel, bought an amplifier, and started a band.”

In six months, Piss had made a small name for himself and his band, Der Katastrophe around Berlin. “We were playing small clubs and parties. We would play at universities all over Germany. That’s how I met Gustave.”.
