2002-2005

Formed by guitarist Robert Drakogiannakis, the original trio include Alex Jezdinsky on drums and Jens Bachmann on bass guitar. All three members sang. They signed to Wuppertal Music Label Group and released a debut self-titled album that received some attention on the independent music scene but failed to draw wide attention. In 2003, they released the EP Ich bin kein Amerikaner (eng. "I Am not an American"). 2004 saw the release of a second album, Alltag für Alle ("routine for all"), and another EP, Phantome ("Phantoms"). In 2005, the band released the live album Pornographie. The band had one television appearance on Newcomer TV in 2005 before separating, with the members joining other projects.

2008

In 2008, Drakogiannakis resumed the band as a solo project, providing all instrumentation, with support live on bass from Dani "das Bassmädchen" Hilterhaus (eng. "the bass girl"). Initially, live drum support was offered by Martell Beigang, but after Beigang's departured drum support has been supplied by Mirco "Caddy" Cardeneo and Valentin Mayr. Drakogiannakis released new songs through the Angelika Express blog until late August 2008 and then began financing the planned album Goldener Trash by pre-selling shares to fans, a marketing idea that drew attention from the Heute show on ZDF. In 2009, an EP entitled Was wollt ihr alle? ("What do you all want?") was published, with an internet video supporting it. At the end of 2009, Hosen runter! Die Angelika Demos 2002–2005 ("Pants Down! The Angelika Demos 2002-2005") was released as a free album on the internet.
