Mustang Ranch was born in the summer of 2005

when Douglas Patton and Danny Antonelli,

two Americans living in Hamburg, decided to record the 12 songs

that Danny had written in 2 weeks after SHE left him...

They gathered a few local musicians together and got started.

The LP, entitled SHE LEFT ME was finished a few months later

and the first live performance was in November of 2005

at the Live Music Club in Hamburg, Germany, for the release of the LP.

Soon after that, Caroline Lim joined the band as singer,

and a new bass player, Björn Lautenschlager, was also added.

This formation continued to play in Germany through 2006

mostly at the INDRA in Hamburg.
