Die Braut haut ins Auge | Bi Nuu

In the organizer's words:

2024 seems to be the year of Die Braut Haut Ins Auge, even though the band disbanded at the end of the 90s. First, the Munich-based Trikont label released all of the band's albums digitally for the first time, then in October 2024, "Die Braut haut ins Auge Hits 1990 - 2000" was released exclusively on vinyl. On top of that, the band performed an album in its entirety live on stage for the first time with "Was nehm ich mit?" in December 2024.

Yes, Die Braut Haut Ins Auge was indeed the only female band of the so-called Hamburg School! They were signed by major BMG/Ariola with their very first longplayer. Expectations were high, the scene was lively and the time seemed ripe. But the band's sound is perhaps too underground, too individual, too playful for the big commercial breakthrough. "Was Nehm Ich Mit?" begins in style with a cover of the eternal pop underdog Jonathan Richman, "Tandem-Sprung". The sound of the record is diverse, ranging from indie bangers to sixties beats and alternative country. The psychedelic sounds of the American Paisley Underground from the 1980s also seem to be an influence; a retro organ is omnipresent on the record. The lyrics are witty, creative and, on the title track, absurdly melancholic: "The sirens are wailing, the sky is fiery red / I'm lying in bed and wish I was dead ... and the question of all questions, around which everything revolves / Is what I don't know: / What do I take with me when there's a war?" "Pop Ist Tot", the final album by "Die Braut Haut Ins Auge", is released in 1998, and there is a music video for the indie hit "Wenn du gehst", which goes into rotation on various video channels.

After the band broke up, Bernadette La Hengst successfully pursued her solo career with eight album releases to date and projects at various theaters. Peta Devlin has also been and continues to be extremely busy as a member of bands such as Cow, Oma Hans and Bela B. with Smokestack Lightnin', the all-female bands Hoo Doo Girl and Mars Needs Women as well as a music and radio play producer.
