The 3 boys from Unhappybirthday grew up in Wismar, a small northern German city where Nosferatu, ghost of Werner Herzog's night, was shot in 1979. Adjani is seen falling in love with Klaus Kinski - frightening Dracula - who wants to destroy the city by importing the plague through rats hiding in coffins. Let us reassure ourselves: no excessive hatred or diabolical Machiavellianism among them. Their music is more reminiscent of the NDW of D.A.F. and Fehlfarben. The Teutonic trio combines lo-fi, post-punk and coldwave sounds with mastery. No need to understand Goethe's language to be overwhelmed by their simultaneously tenacious and profound songs.
