       Wir Sind Helden是目前德國最火的搖滾小樂隊(duì)。在最近兩年里都給德國流行樂壇刮起不小的陣風(fēng)。
       他們的音樂代表著更自由,更肆無忌憚,更適合年輕人的口味,有更好的節(jié)奏。
憑著一曲Guten Tag,Wir sind Helden一度成為了德國音樂舞臺(tái)上的英雄。Judith原本是在弗萊堡的步行街上演唱 Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello, David Bowie等人的歌曲,到柏林后她才成為一名前衛(wèi)的Caféhaus-Folk女歌手。2000年夏天,Judith在漢堡認(rèn)識(shí)了Pola、Jean和Mark,于是有了Wir sind Helden的產(chǎn)生。
German alternative pop quartet Wir Sind Helden (We Are Heroes) formed in 2001. Singer/guitarist Judith Holofernes had previously enjoyed a solo career, in 1999 issuing the LP Kamikazefliege, prior to recruiting keyboardist Jean-Michel Tourette and drummer Pola Roy, the latter suggesting bassist Mark Tavassol to complete the lineup. Drawing influence from the Neue Deutsche Welle, Wir Sind Helden recorded and self-released a five-song EP titled Guten Tag in mid-2002 and soon after scored a left-field German radio hit with the title cut.
A bidding war inevitably followed, and upon signing to EMI's Labels subsidiary, the band issued its full-length debut, Die Reklamation, in the summer of 2003. Buoyed by a sold-out club tour and several well-received television appearances, the album soared to number two on the German pop charts, scoring a Top 40 hit via "Denkmal." Its 2005 follow-up, Von Hier an Blind, entered the German and Austrian charts at number one, generating the hits "Gekommen um zu Bleiben" and "Nur ein Wort." The album's sales were also boosted by Wir Sind Helden's performance on the Berlin stage of the international benefit concert Live 8. In late 2006, Holofernes and Roy announced the birth of their first child.
