In 1995, Christoph "Christ" von Freydorf (vocals) and Stefan "Fini" Finauer (drums), pupils of a convent school, founded the band together with Christoph's church choir friend Jamie "Citnoh" Richardson (bass guitar). They were joined by Stephan Karl "Moik" and Franz Wickenhäuser (both guitar). The band was founded in Hohenschäftlarn near Munich. The name Emil Bulls is derived from a children's movie.
In 1996, they recorded their first CD Red Dick’s Potatoe Garden themselves. The CD is in great demand today because of its small circulation. In 1997, they attended the Emergenza festival and finished third in the European competition. For this competition they hired DJ Paul Rzyttka (known as DJ Zamzoe) who afterwards became a permanent member of the band.
After a long tour, their album Monogamy was released by the indie record label Oh My Sweet Records. The record could only be purchased through the internet or during live shows. Monogamy was noticed by Island Records, which offered the band a recording deal. Some of the songs on Monogamy and a few new songs were recorded. The result was Angel Delivery Service, released in 2001. The album was already out of stock a few months later. A new edition was released including a cover version of A-Ha's "Take on Me". The songs "Smells Like Rock'n'Roll", "Leaving You with This" and "Take on Me" were released as singles.
In May 2002, Porcelain was released through Motor Music. "The Coolness of Being Wretched" and "This Day" were released as singles. Between June 2001 and August 2002, the band played 129 live shows including Rock am Ring. In August 2003, drummer Stefan Finauer left the band to go to university. He was replaced by Fabian Fab Füß. In 2003, the band played some shows in Canada and the United States.
On June 20, 2005, The Southern Comfort was released on Pirate Records. It was the last record with DJ Zamzoe.
In February 2007, the live and acoustic album The Life Acoustic was released. The album, which was recorded in Pullach in 2006, was followed by an acoustic tour.
The following album The Black Path was released on April 4, 2008, on Drakkar records. It is the hardest record of the band so far and was recorded in Hannover by Benny Richer (Caliban, Krypteria). The single "The Most Evil Spell" was offered as a free download.
In 2009, Chrissy Schneider left the band and was replaced by Andy Bock, who was the guitar player of From Constant Visions. On September 25, 2009, Phoenix was released. "Here Comes The Fire" was offered as a free download on their website. In September 2009, a music video of "When God Was Sleeping" was released.
The band's latest studio offering, Oceanic, was to be released on September 30, 2011.
Moloko Velocet
Emil Bulls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keep your body on grooving
A thousand shivers are crawling
Smooth and slow
Up and down your spine
I wish that I could give you everything you die for ... or maybe more
You're made of my wildest dreams and you save my cells from dying
Sex in slowmotion
A lonely bird over the ocean
The grace of a feather
Dancing with the wind to the end of this world... weightless
I wish that I could give you everything you die for... or maybe more
You're made of my wildest dreams and you save my cells from dying
I hope you feel the same way
Handle love with kid gloves
We were on fire baby
Lost in lust and love
We left the world behind
But then it all stopped
The song "Moloko Velocet" by Emil Bulls is a passionate and intimate declaration of love towards someone the singer deeply desires. The opening lines serve as an encouragement for the person to keep dancing, as the singer is mesmerized just by watching their body moving smoothly and slowly. The lyrics suggest that the person brings out a sexual desire in the singer, as expressed in the line "A thousand shivers are crawling, up and down your spine."
The next lines reveal the depth of their desire, as the singer wishes to give this person everything they want and need, even more than they could ask for. The person is described as being made up of the singer's wildest dreams and they save them from "dying," which can be interpreted as they lift the singer up from a darker or lonelier place. The next line switches back to the sensual and sexual nature of their relationship, as the singer describes it as "sex in slow motion."
The bridge provides some imagery of freedom and weightlessness, as if the two are a "lonely bird" dancing with the wind towards the end of the world. The last lines of the chorus express the hope that the person reciprocates the feelings, as the singer wishes that they feel the same way. The last stanza seems to describe a tragic end to what was a great love affair, as they were "on fire" and lost in each other, but then it all stopped.
