Fans of Spinal Tap and Flight of the Conchords, say ‘Hallo!’ to your new favourite band.

Otto & Astrid from the band Die Roten Punkte (The Red Dots) are Berlin’s Prince and Princess Europop and art rock. Their latest show KUNST ROCK (Art Rock) is a new focus for the band as they perform songs from their album of the same name which was inspired by other art rockers such as David Bowie, Nina Hagen, The Pixies, Radiohead, Laurie Anderson and The Who.

Otto & Astrid’s third album, Kunst Rock is their elaborate, high concept art rock album. New songs include classic garage punk ala The Pixies, an improvised soundscape titled “Untitled” and, inevitably, a mini-rock opera. It’s Dark Side of the Moon, Die Roten Punkte style.

Narratively, Kunst Rock reveals more about Astrid and Otto than ever before, as we start to learn from where their unique personalities have evolved. “Grunewald” tells us the story of their parents’ death and the siblings’ subsequent journey to Berlin, while “Bananenhaus” is a bizarre insight into what makes Otto tick.

Otto & Astrid – Kunst Rock (Art Rock) has toured to arts festivals and performing arts centres all over the world including UK, New Zealand, Australia, USA and Canada. It has been performed at Joe’s Pub – New York, Soho Theatre – London, Blumenthal Performing Arts Centre – Charlotte, USA, Sydney Festival – Australia, The Cultch – Vancouver, The Metro Studio – Victoria, Canada, Zoofest at Just For Laughs – Montreal, Nelson Arts Festival – NZ, Tauranga Arts Festival, NZ, Arts Centre Melbourne to name a few.
