Extended Bio
Top Secret Rock Stars is more than just a band – it's a mission. This Berlin-based power trio delivers raw, unapologetic rock with one clear motto: Rock'n'Roll in your face.
Three voices, three instruments, zero compromise – the band blends sweaty garage energy with indie finesse and a whole lot of DIY attitude. What started in Neukölln basements and Kreuzberg rooftops has graduated to marquee rooms: they have stormed the legendary Wild at Heart in Berlin-Kreuzberg, and their first international run took them to the Czech Republic for shows in Prague and Litoměřice – proof that the secret is out beyond the Spree.
Line-Up:
- 🎸Bonelender (Chris Kochenborger) – Guitar & Vocals
Chris is a veteran of the international rock circuit. As part of the explosive duo Canja Rave, he toured across Japan and the United States, bringing his gritty, melodic guitar work to audiences worldwide. Now back in Berlin, he channels that fire into raw riffs and razor-sharp performances. - 🎸Basslord (Robert Becker) – Bass & Vocals
Robert brings backbone, groove, and songwriting brains to the band. A former member of Berlin's beloved indie outfit killerkouche, he's equally at home laying down thundering basslines or crafting sly vocal harmonies. A man of many tones – but never off pitch. - 🥁Sunshine (Luis Matiello) – Drums & Vocals
Luis keeps the engine roaring. Raised in São Paulo, he drummed through the pulse of Latin rock, punk squats, and Kreuzberg's underground. Whether he's throwing sticks or singing hooks, his rhythms are always tight and wild in equal measure.
Sound
Their debut EP Tringle is a no-bull, 3-song punch:
From the chaotic charm of "Panic, Panic (Not in Danger)", to the slow-burning "Please Don't Leave Me", and the road-weary groove of "Whatever Happens on the Road" – this is what happens when three frontmen start a band together.
