   About Decadence in Berlin
The members of the acclaimed pop group Decadence in Berlin were born in the order of their descending-height. Robert was born first. Then Graham, by an entirely unconnected chain of events. Afterwards, Lucy was born by the same parents as Robert. Everything else is mostly unimportant.

Forming in 2006, the Telfordian band blend a mix of Joy Division aestheticism and a lyrical approach akin to the Moldy Peaches, however, the band have a range of influences ranging from eighties post-punk outfits such as Gang of Four, to the musical Cabaret, to the TV output of Harry Hill. The band truly stands out among their contemporaries on the Midlands scene for their sideways take on popular music. Decadence in Berlin’s aim is simple – to make you smile and move your feet.

Hello. Please do delete this comment if you so wish.

We're just making sure that everyone knows that our debut album 'Horses For Courses' is available to buy from our little record label's online shop:

http://www.donttellclare.co.uk/shop.htm

Its been selling faster than we expected, and we currently only have around a quarter of our stock left - so we thought we'd better you all know that if you want a copy then now would be a good time to pick one up! If you buy it from the link above then you're buying it direct from us, the label aren't taking a cut - so its a bit like Fair Trade for struggling musicians.

International mail-order is available, just follow the instructions.

Thank you very much, and sorry for making a mess of your profile. If its any kind of consolation, we don't have a MySpace bot, so I'm leaving these comments the old fashioned way. Three -and-a-half thousand of them. My life is so exciting.

Lots of love
Das Wanderlust
