German contemporary music always struggled to be exported. The German language is a hard, guttural, unappreciated in song in the country where it is not practiced. In doing so, rare are the groups that manage to pierce germanophones internationally. Europe's collective memory will probably remember the friendly and Nena's "99 Luftballons", whose success was not really sealed until an English version, torture was the musical "Ein Zwei Polizei" Modo early 90, or more recently "Durch den Monsun" from Tokio Hotel and their ineffable singer from a cross between Tina Turner (v. 80) and Victoria Beckham. Not enough to impress the whole world in fact. German music nevertheless boasts gems that regularly try to find Germanophile as convinced. These last few years the country of Goethe gave us some great bands who achieved a certain notoriety in their country but unable to cross the Rhine, much less an ocean. I therefore propose in the next seven days, the rhythm of a short post a day and discover some of the best pieces of rock "indie" German in 2007. These seven tickets will not pretend to show you the "underground" German groups are presented fairly well established in Germany, but rather to take a curious look on a few groups worthy of our interest. between ourselves ...
