German Pop Clash

We've been to Wir Sind Helden yesterday. Maybe they're the first female fronted band from Germany since Nena who can appeal to a bigger audience even beyond the German speaking borders. What's encouraging about them is their success story: The singer Judith Holofernes was already advised to leave the band an get into some plastic surrounding to become a star - but refused it. Instead the band did a video with Florian Giefer/Peter Göltenboth for the song "Guten Tag (Die Reklamation)", released an EP for this song themselves, were played first on the Austrian FM4 - and marvellously MTV Germany played the video again and again and again on heavy rotation.
