...as long as parents say good night to their children, the "diebesbande" will make music. The Name of the Band simply means "gang of theives". Diebesbande snitches where ever they can. The haul of "diebesbande" are mostly storys about citzens of Zurich. Storys about how men and women are afraid to change their spots, even if they sit opposite to each other. Storys about never ending days. Storys about how easy it is to hide in the crowd. Real storys about the everyday life of the working poor. Music which is sad, real, cynical, humorous and affecting. Diebesbande composed more than 90 Songs. Lyrics in English and Swiss-German, the native language in Switzerland. "Diebesbande" played more than 50 Gigs within 2 years.
The Album "mit ihm & ihre" is the first official release after a few live recordings and an inofficial album (recorded on a four-line-tape-recorder). The 15 songs on the new Album were recorded, mixed and mastered within four days. Although recorded in the studio it sounds more like a live Album. There are no overdubs, nothing unnecessary - simply an indipendent album. Music which combines Folk-Rock-Indie with Ballads.The Album is full of surprises. Diebesbande says: After a while people may know, which song follows after the other on the record "mit ihm & ihre" but they'll never know, which Song we're going to play next on stage."diebesbande since 1999...
