gerritt bartels, taz"they make music like (almost) no one else does. they can be recommended to fans of giorgio moroder, air oder even independet heroes felt. but apart from all these references, 'la bola privada' is the best of the last 20 years of german popmusic. zwanzig jahren deutscher popmusik. their music has a big fun-factor and their lyrics are really great."
