history

Ina Müller and Edda Schnittgard have been on stage together since the summer of 1994 and entertained their audience with music and cheerful to snappy texts, for example on the gender issue, relationships between two people, on various everyday problems perceived from a female perspective or on their North German origins.

Ina Müller mostly acted - especially when performing live - as an extroverted front woman and singer, who dominated the foreground with plenty of words. In the background, the corpulent Edda Schnittgard not only created an original visual contrast to her lively and agile partner by accompanying her with stoic gestures and facial expressions on the piano or enriching the mutual battles with dry or biting comments. In these z. B. Often - as in some of the duo's songs - Edda Schnittgard's corpulence is discussed self-ironically and self-confidently (excerpt from Fett : “When I sing / then more than a lifebuoy wobbles / and it doesn't help when I jump into the water / to it I'm too fat ”).

Their first CD One Sings, The Other too was released in 1994. In 1997 they started their program When you stop, I'll start and released another CD under the same name. In 2000 her third program came out and the album Freundinnen one must be ... was released. In 2002 they released their fourth program I'm gaining, and you're letting go! , the album for it was called Volle Kanne Kerzenschein . Since the beginning of 2005, the two of them have been on the road with their new program, Abseits is, When Nobody Whistles . The duo's repertoire also included songs in Low German such as Zitronenboom (Low German version of Lemon Tree by Fools Garden ).

They also became known through the film Schöne Frauen (2004, director: Sathyan Ramesh ).

The duo separated at the end of 2005. Both artists have since devoted themselves to solo projects.
