history

The band was founded in the seventh grade of the Beethoven-Gymnasium when the physical education classes were canceled due to illness of the teacher. The group described their earlier musical style as "from hardcore punk to 8-bit Gameboy - Casio music". Originally all members of the band studied subjects such as architecture , film music , mathematics , electrical engineering and art .

In 2014 Von Wegen Lisbeth went on tour with AnnenMayKantereit as the opening act , and in November they released their EP And Suddenly the Salmon . This was followed by 18 more concerts with AnnenMayKantereit at the beginning of 2015 and at the end of the year the first own tour called Disruption in Operations .

After touring with Element of Crime and again AnnenMayKantereit in early 2016 , they released their debut album Grande on July 15, 2016 , which was followed by the tour of the same name in September and October of that year.

style

The band's lyrics are mainly written by singer Matthias Rohde, who incorporates everyday situations and conversations into his songs.

“These are all everyday experiences that you unconsciously pick up on. The basic idea is mostly autobiographical, but when working out the lyrics I add a lot to it. "

Instruments like a Casio - keyboard or a steel drum , the band has some borrowed or purchased from the Opera, shape the musical style of the band.
