Born Ruffians Interview – The Dwarf
The talented Canadian band, Born Ruffians, caught my eye when I saw they had a song entitled Kurt Vonnegut which appealed to the pretentious hipster inside of me. As I started listening to it and becoming more enchanted with their music I came to realise that I’d been neglecting Canadian bands in my music catalogue. There is more to Canadian music than Celine Dion. Although I’m positive that Canadians enjoy being associated with Celine Dion as much as the Kool-Aid company like being associated with suicidal cults.

Die Roten Punkte Interview – SoundProof Magazine
Die Roten Punkte
Brother- sister act, Astrid & Otto make up the quirky and highly entertaining German band ‘Die Roten Punkte’. With Astrid on drums/glockenspiel/vocals and Otto providing vocals/guitar/keytar, the two provide fun, kitsch music with equally as quirky videos.
I spoke to the two over the phone while they were in Adelaide, Australia on their downtime whilst performing at the Adelaide Fringe Festival. Being quite the talkative pair I quickly discovered what great story tellers Astrid and Otto are; there was the time Astrid decided to pierce Otto’s ear while he was sleeping on consecutive nights, Astrid’s trip to drug and alcohol rehabilitation where she learnt the meaning of moderation but the most interesting was the tale of how the band began.
