Berliner’s Otto and Astrid Rot (Die Roten Punkte)are back in town to celebrate the local release of their acclaimed "Super Musikant" CD - a ten-track high-energy feast of rock, studded with rich veins of roll. The Teutonic twosome are hungry to back up the hype by ripping through a brace of their sparkling pop-punk anthems live.
From "Rock n’ 'Roll Monster" to "Ich Bin Nicht Ein Roboter (I Am A Lion)" to the chilling "The 4:15 To Spandau Will Not Run Today", the Best Band In The World are in rare form and they want to push their rock into you. What are you waiting for? Rock Bang!
Die Roten Punkte became an instant household name in Europe after topping the charts in Germany and Poland with their 2005 hits ’I’m In A Band’ and ‘Best Band In The World’.
Despite Astrid’s stay in rehab at the beginning of 2008, Die Roten Punkte had a stunningly successful North American tour. The Gazette Montreal describes them as a “sonic collision between Plastic Bertrand, Kraftwerk and early Ramones” and they have quickly gained widespread acclaim for being a “must-see act”.
After being orphaned at an early age the pair have clawed their way to European fame in true punk rock style. Squats in Kreutzberg, homeless in Amsterdam and a baptism by fire in the underground rock scene of Berlin.
Now they are bring their unique brand of Rock n Roll to Australia for a limited run of shows. The rest of the world has already experienced Die Roten Punkte – now it’s your turn.
