Lava 303 is Constanze Maly, born in 1971, living in Frankfurt/Main in Germany.
In the beginning ninties she moved to Frankfurt to play guitar in the allgirlband The Slags. The Slags have been a well known girl-rockband in Germany, as they recorded some albums, released on Sonymusic/Dragnet and Subway Records and they played over 300 Gigs in Germany, Switzerland, Czech Republik, and France. After the split in ´98 she started to work on her own music and developed her own way and style of playing live electronic music for the party-dancefloor.
She has been working together with various fire performers/shows of the playground collective&firedancers, and she likes to do jams, so she played with great drummers such as Quintus Kannegiesser from Smiles in Boxes, Mani Neumeier from Guru Guru, singers/artists such as Ulrike Helmholz or Sunchild.
Lover 303 is a sideproject with the (60 years old!) drummer Mani Neumeier of Guru Guru,with the idea to create a crossover between psychedelic trance and rock music and connect three generations of psychedelic music fans.
Also Conni produced her tracks and songs in the studios of Dragonmaster, Spirit Zone, and the Krupps(Lover303), which are released on different labels. In 2004 she released her first Soloalbum Acid RocknRoll Stories, a bedroom production, which documents the last years of travelling and making music around the world/balkan.The album was produced in 9 month of pregnancy and 9 month of nursing and mixed with Steve Dragon in Darmstadt. Acid RocknRoll Stories is a DIY Release as Crossing Bridges Label and is distributed via internetshops and a lot of friends.
Now she started to produce music for a new album/new project (mamabitch!)
