...the new record was meant to be less playful. The sound should be very "rough", loud and powerful. We wanted to use less electronics, less computers. We wanted to press the offensiveness and the power of our live shows on a record. The lyrical subject should be the look at the world from the bottom. How does a criminal jobless guy look at the moon ('Messiah'). How does an 18-year-old soldier lose his lust for war ('The Deserter'). How does it feel to work in a meat factory ('Rubber and Meat')? How much can you hate the people who never have to work in a meat factory ("Prominent Man"). We began to rehearse in a damp cellar in Kreuzberg. During every rehearsal we had to eat a cheeseburger from the Burgermeister at Schlesisches Tor. When we recorded the first takes of the new album, we realized that it would become very good. We realized, that the power we put into the record would not vanish in the depths of our mixer and our amps. Then we took the rudimental mixes and the well-prepared tracks to Stockholm. In Stockholm-Grondahl a little man sat in front of a big mixing desk. His name was Pelle Gunnerfeldt, he had produced bands like 'The Hives' or 'The International Noise Conspiracy' and now he chased our distorted guitars, our sick synth-sounds, Joe's animalistic drums and my vocals through his mixer and compressors. The result, our third album called 'Rubber and Meat' is going to be released on Louisville-Records again. In the 'Musikerklause' on the Torstrasse...

I saw you on Bilbao, Spain, 2nd April of this year. Love your music...But I can't find your cd's at Spain, and that's a problem for me :( You must return to Spain, please!! Kisses
vielen lieben Dank für die Freundschaft. SUPER, wir sind wieder im Spiel! Haben Samstag in Kiel 3:0 gewonnen. Am Sonntag den 25.10 sind wir im Sportforum
sehr schöne Videos habt ihr da, schön anzuhören und anzuschauen. Ich frage mich, was euch davon abhält auch die grandiose "a capella" Version von "Manager in Love" online zu stellen, die Jonas und Joe beim Kuahgartn Festival "performed" haben. ;) (Das wurde doch aufgenommen. Oder hab ich das geträumt? Auch möglich...)
Doing fine, but too much time since the last time I saw one of your shows! Yes both videos are great, but this "Lucy" is so different and classy. I wish one day you'll consider releasing "Lucy" as a single with this alternative version as a B-side.I'd pre-order ten copies! Bye x
