TIM & PUMA MIMI 4th Skype Concert @ Gaskessel Bern 1.4.08:
TuPM live at womb/tokyo (yes, sometimes we are together on stage in these rare days so called "holidays"... there's no word for that in japanese, i guess!)
...and the story goes like this:
BIO
Swiss Tim (aka Christian Fischer) and Japanese Mimi (aka Michiko Hanawa) met in the Netherlands at a Saint Nikolaus party in end 2003.
The two drunken people started to talk about music, and discovered both had a muscical background. Michiko played in a pop-punk band ("The Gum Drops") in Tokyo, and Christian played flute and keybords in several bands ("Seelenluft" and "Märklin") in Zurich. So Christian asked Michiko to sing to his electronica which was totally unfamiliar to Michiko.
But they succeed!
In ten days, they composed and recorded three songs and one self-remix. This became the first EP "The Adventures of Tim and Puma Mimi".
And since then, the adventures never stops, they recorded songs in Tokyo, Zurich, New York, in trains, via skype, on airports and played over 50 live shows around the globe.
And here comes the third offical Release:
