DIRK DARMSTÄDTER
Born 1965 in Hamburg and grown up in the USA, firstly the singer and songwriter DIRK DARMSTÄDTER was crazy about baseball.

‘Augen auf und durch’ so the title of the debut by Berlin-based trio LENZ, coming to us in spring, so open your eyes and ears, as the album also offers lyrics between the two poles of thoughtfulness and irony. The music: Always looking for the perfect pop song with lots of guitar plucks and keys, mingled with wonderful melodies and thought-provoking German-tongued lyrics. Being a guitar band with a keyboard back in the early days, a signature band sound developed with the piano as a core element, which even sounds huge, when performed live.- Details

30th January (Single) and 13th February (Album) will be the release dates of new BOA material you should mark in your calendar. Most of you already know about the new Voodooclub studio member, the ingenious drummer Jaki Liebezeit. The single ‘Lord Have Mercy With The 1-Eyed’ from new album ‘Diamonds Fall’ includes 4 additional bonus tracks, excelling the usual contents of a single by far, which makes it rather an EP. The main track is a beautiful, bitter-sweet BOA composition with wonderful, crazy-romantic lyrics. ‘It’s a hymn, it’s a classic!’ More info is available at Boa’s current Myspace blog ‘New Years Note’, where he describes the album’s sound as being "... driven, dreamy, wide-open... with cinematic melodies".- Preview SILBERMOND - Cologne 2009
