The band Hunger, currently based in Berlin, is in New Zealand for the first time!
Christoph Rothmeier (The entertainers' dry eye, Kröter) plays drumset, drum computer, synthesizer, trumpet and sings,
and Jörg Hochapfel (Onom Agemo & The Disco Jumpers, Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra) plays synthesizers, melodica, tambourine and sings.
Often they play music together without playing together, or they invent cruel musical rules for themselves. Sometimes this results in tightly knit songs, although with a significant blurriness. And sometimes it results in terrible accidents - these are unavoidable, but welcome, while still being terrible accidents.
Lots of concerts and performances since 1996, from Hamburg’s Golden Pudel Club to Berlin Art Week and New York’s Le Petit Versailles.
7 self-released albums and a DVD with music videos on their own label hungermuzik.
