This band is a total mystery. They don't appear on any poster or on the LP, and are only seen in the movie. They were not really rock, more folk-like guitar songs. But not bad at all.<br /> | |||
Seems they also appeared at [[Talentschuppen]] twice but that could also be a different band of the same name. | |||
