!! The new album
"Great Lake State" is out just now !!
When we first experienced
Nick, Birte and Oliver on their SofaConcerts tour last summer, we were
immediately intrigued by their charm, jokes and the fun they have on stage. Now
they just released their new album and we are thrilled to hear that most of the
songs on it were written during that same tour - on your sofas, around your
kitchen tables and in their tour bus! We can't wait to hear more of them!
Three powerful voices, two acoutic guitars and one cute minitature piano is all
they need to create their unique sound - a fusion of indie folk with
rock'n'roll vibes. Once you experience them live, you'll notice at once: Not
only are they a perfect match in terms of music but also in terms of
friendship! Maybe this is exactly why we can't help but like them so much!
SofaConcerts: "Nick,
Birte, Oliver, great to see you again! Tell us: What was your favorite
SofaConcerts moment?"
Young Chinese Dogs: "It was at our
first SofaConcert we did in Stuttgart. When Andi of "Die Fantastischen Vier"
happened to show up at our gig and we eventually ended up getting totally
wasted with Andi by the end of the night. Stuff like that only happens on
SofaConcerts!"
SC: "What
or who inspire your music the most?"
YCD: "Books, movies and
of course everyday things that happen to us."
SC: "What was the
soundtrack to your first heartsickness?"
YCD: Nick: "I guess I
shouldn't say that but it actually was Shakira's 'Underneath your clothes'. I
still love that slide solo and key change."
SC: "At the moment you guys
spent your time in the studio to work on your new album.
YCD: "We loved how we could try out
new songs in such intimate settings and get honest and direct feedback. So I
guess the perfect time is during a creative phase. Cause all those things that
happen during a SofaConcerts-Tour are so inspiring. It helps you write more and
better songs and value what you accomplished so far.
SC: "Thanks a lot for
this interview and congratulations to your album! It's running all the time in
our office!"
