Denmark Street

Indie is dead.

About Me

In mid 2006 Lukas Thielmann, Caleb Anderson and Michael "The Hawk" Jefferson formed a group devoted to bringing back something that has been absent from Rock'n'Roll for far too long, namely Rock'n'Roll.

We are a New Zealand band with a German frontman and mostly American influences named after an English street called Denmark Street.
