Sascha came to Boston from Germany to study music production and engineering at Berklee College of Music. It was there on the sixth floor of Berklee’s Massachussetts Avenue dorm that Sascha met Soren Sorensen, a fellow lager enthusiast and pop music fan. After Soren became bored with his next–door neighbors drug addled free jazz jam session, he and Sascha eventually became friends and writing partners. After only half convincing Soren that Oasis was a good band Sascha moved to London in search of a brit–pop–act to join. Having found nothing but wankers and tossers, Sascha realized that he missed collaborating with Soren, despite his non britishness, and returned to the fertile crescent of Boston, where he found his friend waiting patiently at a video store on Newbury Street. Soren had already played Sascha’s songs for Rob Gold, a childhood friend and chemical engineering student who just happened to play drums. Adam Lacasse, a fellow Berklee student, had been playing guitar and drums for years, making him the obvious choice for bass, and Schedule 2 was born.

With combined influences ranging from Elliott Smith and Sugar to Supergrass and Travis, their infectious songs have a level of musicianship which reflects the individual skills of each member. Sascha wrote S.M.U.D.O. as a tribute to Die Fantastischen Vier, Germanys premiere hip–hop act. Here We Go is Soren’s statement concerning the over–emphasis this culture ascribes to casual sex. Top just hammers home Sascha’s positive mental attitude by employing two of the most important words in pop music:
"Baby, Baby".

The lines above were taken from the original Schedule 2 bio included in the press kit which was sent out a gazillion times all over the states and the rest of the world to no avail.

Schedule 2 effectively seized to exist once it became clear that Sascha’s visa was about to run out. Having been the most active member within the band it was clear that there was no future without him. Schedule 2 played its last gig at the end of the summer of 2001 at the Boston University, playing in front of practicing football players. It was a fitting and bizarre ending for a short and eventful career which included just as many highs as lows.

Sascha returned to Germany where he continued to actively pursue a musical career. After a brief stint as in–house engineer and producer of a local production house, which did close to nothing to further his career but made for a few classic stories, his most serious and commercial project was the writing and producing of a german hip–hop album featuring the then (and still) unknown rapper Kerem. Keeping in line with previous efforts this project, although high in quality and commercial appeal, gained no outside interest whatsoever. While still busy writing and recording Sascha has finally surrendered to fate and is now pursueing a career in alternative medicine with emphasis on traditional chinese medicine.

Soren left Boston soon after Sascha’s departure in desperate need for a change and relocated to New York, following in the footsteps of good friends like Brian Mechlowicz and seventies Dan. With Brian he soon expanded their friendship to form a duo. This duo gave them a platform to perform their own songs which were very different in style from Schedule 2. While the deuce was more upbeat and high-energy driven rock (especially live), Sorensen & Mechlowicz is softer and mellower, giving Soren the ability to express a more deeper and emotional side of his songwriting and vocal skills. They record and tour sporadically in the New York area and already have a three–song CD to their name.

Adam has the most remarkable career out of any of the four. Never one to actually finish an education he drifted aimlessly through various jobs and temp agencies until he managed to land a sweet deal with a law firm. And to top things off he married the love of his life, Allison Doherty, whom he actually met because of Schedule 2 since Soren and Sascha knew her from the earliest Berklee days and kept inviting her to the shows. In retrospect, aside from the music and memories, this could be most positive thing to come out of the band. Having a proper career and wife, music has not been on the top of Adams agenda since the band broke up. His basement is ready to go as it proved during two brief Schedule 2 reunions, but aside from the casual jam no further attempt has been made to play any music on a serious level.

Rob vanished from view once the band broke up and Soren and Sascha left town. Not only being the smartest and most educated fellow of the band (double major in chemistry and physics) but also being the most proficient at his instrument out of all four, he is also the most troubled soul. In trying to balance his personal demons and life in general this has unfortunately led to Rob living a very drawn back and private life with little or no contact to the people around him. While he apparently manages to continue to work and fullfill his daily obligations little else is known. Rob, if you should read this, we love you from the bottom of our hearts and all this would not have been possible without you. The dream is over and reality is harsh but what was created during these days, the memories at Sunset Str., have all become a part of us and will live on. Different challenges await now and we wish you all the best.
