Truth Is

Favez?

Closet Astronaut

My Heart Belongs To Cecilia Winter

Eighteen

2006, Thom Luz, Betty Fischer and Kusi Gerber met in Zürich. They started to perform together and soon found their own sound.

In 2010 they released their first album “Our Love Will Cut Through Everything”, bringing up comparisons with Arcade Fire or Death Cab For Cutie.

I'm in love with a mountain

Playing in front of “a junkie and a dog” wasn’t enough for them. They started touring through France where the album was a great success.

In 2012 they have now released their second album Midnight, Midnight.

Departure and Arrival

Scott Matthew visited them in the studio and took part in their song “Battle Cry”.

Emotions, love, hate, life, death – everything comes together in this wonderful piece of music. Check it out.

VINGT-SEPT

Today I found a great new channel to follow on VIMEO which is called "The Black Cab Sessions". My friend Astrid from Bogota posted this great video of  Michael Kiwanuka  sitting in a London Cab and singing a song. How fun is this to make a city tour and enjoy some great songs?

I made a list of some of my favorite bands who are listed there and dedicated to persons with whom I relate the band with. 

Click on the different links or simply browse the channel for more videos and enjoy! Cheers
