Paradise Now! was an Austrian rock / pop group named after an expression in the theater landscape and the advertising industry. Theater groups use the term for free improvisations, in advertising the term describes the process of instantly putting spontaneous ideas into practice. So was the way the band worked in the rehearsal room. Spontaneous.
