The same advertisement was also placed at the University of Heidelberg, where Yuriy Davygora was a graduate student of particle physics.
Davygora contacted Volpp and they met for an open jam session at the O-Ton club in Mannheim.
During their second meeting, on 18 April, they decided to found a band together and call it "Jenson McKenzie".
Their first concert on 4 July 2012 was a part of the open stage night at the Zeltfestival 2012[1] in Heidelberg, where they played songs which they had written separately before meeting each other including, most notably, Spring Blues and The Science Goes On.
They drew artistic influence from rock acts like Queen, Guns N' Roses, The Who, Scorpions, DIO, etc.
