   About Woog Riots
In the fast rotating indie-subworld inhabited by the German-Italian Woog Riots, it’s just a quick short-cut from riotpop / garagefolk to twee-rave and dance-punk!

The band began their pop career in 2004 by compiling a tribute album for iconic Manchester band “The Fall“, which featured eclectic European and transatlantic contributions highly appreciated by John Peel.

Their own first single followed, released on German label “What’s So Funny About“. The two creative master-minds Silvana Battisti and Marc Herbert sharing the vocals for “King of Pop“, a brilliant statement of future intent.

They addressed the royal imbalance later by writing the lo-fi electro hit “Queen of Pop“, featuring on their debut album “Strangelove TV“. Favourable press reviews followed, bringing comparisons with the New York scene including Adam Green and Kimya Dawson with their band Moldy Peaches.

With a name derived from its four chapters People, Animals, Society & Places, the Woog Riots’ new album “PASP” is due for release in spring 2008. Song themes cover some key cultural, political and scientific developments in Western civilisation.

Battisti and Herbert do DJ sets at clubs in Germany and acts such as LCD Soundsystem and M.I.A. have become a major influence. As a result the band’s sound has moved in the direction of dance-punk and twee-rave, taking the slogan of label mates ‘Knarf Rellöm Trinity’ “move your ass and your mind will follow” to their hearts.

Tours of Germany, England and Finland have already made an impact, leading to a steady growth of their own underground network. In March/April 2008 they return to the UK for a short series of dates and are due to tour extensively through Germany in May/June 2008.

Our new CD "pasp" is now available in all shops in Germany and for worldwide download on iTunes!

Na, wenn Ihr oder wer jetzt sagen würde er ist es nicht, wär man doch recht erstaunt hier: Die "moves", die Statur, etc. Im Grunde sogar das "Superheldenkostüm", oder? "People working with computers" hat mir übrigens letzte Woche ca. zwei Tage gerettet. Blumen auch dafür.
Man schreibt sich!

Die neue Scheibe = sehr gelungenes Erzeugnis! Kann man jetzt so sagen, nachdem ihre Klänge sich ein bisschen setzen durften und man sie vorwärts UND rückwärts abgespielt hat. Um die geheimen satanischen Text-Botschaften zu entschlüsseln ... "Paul McCartney" = besonders charmant.
- Feine, feine Grüße ins Lilien-Land!

Hey! I'm so glad to hear that.. I enjoyed Thursday so much - it was a brilliant gig and you're a fantastic band to see live. I've been wanting to come and play in Germany for ages, so maybe I'll come over sometime and play a gig with you over there, that would be amazing!

Thanks so much for playing - hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!

Would it be okay to play one of your tunes on 96.9 All Fm on 5th May? That's our next show (9pm-11pm)

See you soon - and thanks once again!

Tom

sorry, in his case it's spelt 'muller' (but i don't have those lil dots that go over the letters on this computer),quite cultured as a footballer as far as i remember. am i right in saying he was a midfielder? rather bronzed he was. nice.
your list of influences are as cool as your own brand of music.
