   About Das Wanderlust
The new Das Wanderlust debut album 'Horses For Courses' is FINALLY available!

You can buy it on on CD or mp3 through our record label here.

Do it!

Das Wanderlust are a pop band based in north-eastern England who have been tirelessly contradicting themselves for four long years now, and who all hate each others' guts.

Collectively they have seven cats and three dogs. There used to be a goat but it died.

Here are some of the things that people have said about them:

Artrocker
When was the last time you heard a band who made your head feel like it was going to burst open? When was the last time you went to see such a band live, only to discover that not only were they as wondrous and superlative as you’d hoped, but also more mystifying and more startlingly arresting than you’d expected? If you’ve ever heard Das Wanderlust’s records or seen them live, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about…

The Guardian
If John Peel were still walking this earth and muttering inanities to himself in the wee small hours about bedroom pop there's no doubt that Das Wanderlust would be held to the heart of the great man. Is that a chiming chorus of recorders? Is that a young woman in a pinafore dress shrieking her eyes out? Is that the sound of Kenicke being throttled in their sleep? Hell, yes…

NME
Das Wanderlust follow in the frolicsome tradition of post-riot grrrl popsters Bearsuit and Bis. Their weirdo witticisms have resulted in shed-loads of hype and tours with similarly minded comrades like Art Brut…

Plan B magazine
Screeching, stomping and wailing, their hyperactive school orchestra songs build a sugar rush that recalls the nausea of a waltzer ride, along with the syrupy splatter of messy shapes and bright colours… Music as comforting and sticky as an ice cream on a hot summers day...

Bookings:

Just send us a message. Priority will be given to those offering the best food.

PR:
Our friend Leah from Sainted PR looks after the press side of things for us.

A fine name.

Anyway, to the reason I added you. I'm looking to complete as many interviews with bands from the region as possible to try and introduce people to new sounds.

So if you're interested in taking part - please get in touch.

Hello! I didn't know you knew the lovely eggs! Would you like to do a gig in Lancaster with my poetry and with the lovely eggs would be fantastic! I wanted to go to your secret barn gig but I couldn't find it not even with my owl friends to guide me!

Buy some crazy crap from me you suckers. I hate your band. Especially Laura Susan Simmons. She's a right idiot.

Thanks! I'm a great fan of shows in alternative spaces, they have a habit of being more creatively free-flowing and friendlier than venue shows. If you can tell me where it is I'll totally be there, but if not, let me know how it goes!xx
