Drugs were one German indie pop - band .
history
The drugs were founded in Munich in 2008 . The band members had previously played together in the alternative rock band Sugarcaine and released the album No Stars Above in 2007. From 2008 to 2009, the band put several self-produced singles online and managed to attract some attention in the indie scene. In autumn 2009, the drug accompanied the English indie rock - band Art Brut as tour support on their club tour through Germany.
In early 2010 the drugs won a video competition from MTV with a self-made clip. The prize was an unplugged appearance on MTV Akustik . In August 2010 the band released their debut album Jetzt im Handel! , which they produced with the Berlin producer Uwe Hoffmann . In the same year the drugs played concerts in Germany, Austria and Italy. In 2011 her song Leckt mich! into the pre-finals of the protest song contest .
The band received more attention when singer Hari Bauhofer apparently suffered a circulatory collapse on March 8, 2011 in the live broadcast of the ZDF-Morgenmagazin in front of the cameras. Relevant tabloids, including Bild , reported. A day later, TV presenter Stefan Raab quoted an excerpt from the TV appearance on the morning magazine in his TV program and brought the name of the band in connection with the incident. In an interview on the show hallo Deutschland, the band denied that the collapse had anything to do with real drugs.
A year after appearing on ZDF, the band finally announced in a news report that the collapse in the morning magazine was a planned PR campaign in order to generate greater media coverage.
In 2012 the band broke up after two members dropped out and all attempts to reunite had failed.
In 2014 singer Bauhofer, guitarist Roge and drummer Mäddinghausen founded the Acoustik Beatz Orchestra project .
