Music style and influences
The duo, which is subtitled “ Brechtian Punk Cabaret”, is stylistically based on the jazz and dance music of the 1920s. The influences are manifold, from dealing with heavy metal and rock music to the cabaret of the Weimar Republic to their parents, who first brought them to the instruments.
