Horstreich: Noisy, friendly, fierce and beautiful, rock and roll.


Definitely a pronunciation task but Hörstreich from Augsburg, Germany don't sound a bit like you'd expect them to. Take the Franz out of Ferdinand, stir it with sticky hooklines and then smash it all up with loads of furious rock'n'roll. A mind boggling craze that will screech to a brake just before it reaches disaster and leave the crowd all over excited and desperately longing for more.

While their hometown Augsburg is starting to become famous for German pop music, Hörstreich keep on playing their own game. It's noisy, but friendly, fierce but beautiful, and it's got all you need, if toe tapping just isn't quite enough. Hörstreich have been touring for more than thirteen years and recorded 7 lps. with gigs all over Germany and Europe (GB, CZ, FR) they have made a racket in many places and got people jumping many times. Besides open airs, clubs and festivals, they have also gigged unique occasions like supermarket concerts and an unplugged tour through Augsburg's pubs or the London architecture biennale. and there sure is loads more to come!

With Hörstreich's album "Tinytension", the band has grown in sound and taken on a slight 80s atmosphere. If you get the chance to see the band perform live, be prepared for loads of energetic bouncing, charismatic racket making and mind boggling breath taking. Or, as the press would say, "...a bundle of energy with a voice like the Cure's Robert Smith, the band, all clad in black...produced a blistering performance and an encore which got the crowd really jumping for the first time."

You can find out where they are playing and much more about them on their website.
