Anthony de Angelis (Vox), Sammy Lasagni (Guitar), Mitch Koontz (Bass) and Peter Gander (Drums) had already gained a reputation as a fabulous liveband in Switzerland when in 2001 they recorded their first 3-track-demo on their own under the name of GODIVA and performed at a lot of festivals during the following year. The first record of the Swiss with its simple title "GODIVA" was recorded at the House of Music Studio in Winterbach with successful producers Tom Naumann and Achim Köhler at the knobs.
