The rock band LICK AND A PROMISE began in the summer of 2005 in the vicinity of Frankfurt, Germany.

After struggling with a few producers over artistic preferences, Manuel Elsesser (g) and Jochen W. Thoma (voc) decided to take fate in their own hands and worked together to produce their debut album "A Bitch Is A Bitch".

Recruiting a local drummer and bass player, the group was complete - right on time for the upcoming recording sessions in early 2006.

The resulting work, with the diverse styles of the band members, proved to be a musical success.

After good reviews in national print media and online magazines worldwide, LICK AND A PROMISE started getting internet radio airplay on various stations and went on to reach the German finals at the international "Bodog Battle" band contest.

Following some line-up changes - introducing Ulli Bieber (dr, perc) and Volker Thoma (bg, org) - the band returned to the scene in early 2009 with a handful of new acoustic songs, some of which immediately made it on the radio at a local station near their hometown. Later that year, LICK AND A PROMISE started touring Germany in support of their new EP - unplugged.

In the summer of 2010 the band eventually recorded the much-anticipated, full-length follow-up to their debut album, "Come Together In The Morning", released December 1st. Around that time, LNAP launched their first US West Coast tour, taking them to legendary venues such as the "House Of Blues" and "The Viper Room" on the world-famous Sunset Strip in Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA.

The second part of the "Come Together" tour is set for 2011 in Germany, when the band continues to promote its highly acclaimed new record, at both club gigs in the springtime and open air shows during the summer festivals season.
