Thanks to our audience for joining us for our concert at the Strenge Kammer at Porgy & Bess. We almost filled the venue, making this our largest crowd so far. We're really chuffed to have been able to share our music with so many people.

Special thanks to Peter Herbert for inviting us and to Marion for the exquisite, highly immersive sound. It was a pleasure to play there.

Everybody who wanted to buy CDs but didn't get any because Horst forgot to bring them, check out our Bandcamp merch page.
