Yeti Girls was a German pop-punk - band of Monheim am Rhein . Contrary to the band name, "Yeti Girls" was an all-male line-up.

history

The band was founded in the spring of 1990 in Monheim am Rhein by Christian Rulfs (guitar) and Carsten Linder (vocals). Frank Kroliczak (bass) and Wendelin Auer (drums) joined them a little later. The band initially had their rehearsal room in the rock and culture club "Sojus 7", later the band was headquartered in Cologne.

The band produced their first single with Lukas Hegemann in his studio on Düsseldorf's Kiefernstrasse . It was published by the Düsseldorf punk label Wolverine Records . In 1995 Harry Navratilova (Harry Hellwig) took over the microphone. Shrill outfits, plush-wrapped amplifiers and loving care for their fans were always in the foreground on stage. The band's first three albums were directed by Cologne producer Paul Grau (including Rausch , Fury in the Slaughterhouse ) in Heartbeat Studios. The "girls" had their very own mix of poppy punk rock and an extravagant mix of styles. In 2001 the album Five was released , shortly afterwards the band broke up.

They became known, among other things, for their song I would never go to the Toten Hosen , an ironic answer to the melody of the song Bayern der Toten Hosen from their album Immortal . The song was never officially released. It only exists in the form of press promos and can be downloaded from the Yeti Girls website.

On the sampler A Tribute to Die Fantastischen Vier , which was released in 2009, the Yeti Girls are represented with the cover version Yeah Yeah Yeah .
