It was on October 6, 1997 –20 years ago – that GUANO APES released their debut album ‘Proud Like A God’. The songs ‘Open Your Eyes’ and ‘Rain’ were on it, and on a re-release also ‘Lords Of The Boards’. With youthful recklessness, Henning Rümenapp, Dennis Poschwatta, Stefan Ude and Sandra Nasic created an album in the surrounding area of Göttingen, Germany, which led them on to a victory parade through the rock charts of the world, gave the generation X a voice and the band a career of more than 20 years. Sandra was the first and loudest woman in the genre to become an icon for the girls who were not pop but different. And so, ‘Open Your Eyes’ became a global anthem.The album has been awarded platinum for more than 1 million sold copies in Europe; worldwide it were more than 3 million copies. The band received an Echo and the MTV Europe Music Award for "Best German Act", to name just a few awards. The following three albums also went straight to number 1 on the charts. Exactly 20 years on the day, on October 6, 2017, the original line-up of GUANO APES will embark on a tour through Europe, starting in Zurich, to celebrate their debut album and of course many other hits like ‘Pretty In Scarlet’, ‘Big In Japan’, ‘You Can not Stop Me’ and ‘Sunday Lover’. There will be ten gigs in Germany. Check the dates and get your tickets! You probably remember how ‘Open Your Eyes’ sounds like, but why shouldn't one re-watch the official video nevertheless?
