What is important to you in your music?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We want to connect with the heart and mind of the audience. And also get them dancing! Obviously, you can\u2019t have the same degree of success all the time, but we do our best. Groovy rhythms are just as important to us as catchy lyrics that tell relevant stories \u2013 though sometimes they are only relevant for their entertainment value. The way we perform is very important to us. We dress up in outlandish, garish outfits and strut the stage as if it were our private jungle and we were two wild orangutans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is Dresden a good place for musicians? What elements are perhaps still missing?
<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Dresden is a wonderful place, full of culture-loving people. There are great street parties, and it has an exciting live scene in the various clubs. It would be nice to see one or two more opening instead of the umpteenth shisha bar, but there is a lot going on in the scene, and that\u2019s the most important thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which area in Dresden has influenced you the most<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The majority of our Dresden concerts have been in and around Neustadt. We find ourselves being drawn back there over and over again. We especially like Kukulida and Schwarzes Schaf.<\/p>\n\n\n

Can Dresden be heard in your music?
<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Definitely. Many of our friends live here, and they give us massive support. What\u2019s more, places that you feel connected to and that give you a sense of home always generate inspiration and creativity, because they release energy from within that you won\u2019t discover anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are you hoping for in 2020?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We released our debut album on 22 January 2020, which we\u2019re calling \u2018Real love bei mir\u2019. We\u2019ve been working on it for the past eighteen months. We\u2019re now looking forward to the concerts which are booked for his year. Club concerts, festivals, street parties \u2013 there is a lot coming up and we\u2019re full of anticipation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
