Die Roten Punkte – Best Band In The World

Fans of Spinal Tap and Flight of the Conchords, say ‘Hallo!’ to your new favourite band.

Die Roten Punkte (The Red Dots) are the Prince and Princess of Berlin’s underground rock scene. Following sell-out shows in New York, Sydney and Edinburgh, dysfunctional siblings Otto and Astrid Rot are travelling in Darwin for the very first time to present a ’best of’ set featuring their favourite songs from their four albums.

Since their last Australian tour they’ve toured across Europe supporting Amanda Palmer, had a super successful run at the Soho Theatre in London and sold out shows in Belgium, Ireland, UK, USA, Germany, Canada, New Zealand, Hungary, Poland and Italy. They also won ANOTHER coveted Melbourne Green Room Award for Best Production, Cabaret.

Orphaned as teenagers, Astrid and Otto found themselves homeless in Berlin before they dived into a rock baptism by fire (started by one of Astrid’s cigarettes). Born-again as Die Roten Punkte, the duo was catapulted into European stardom.

A lipstick-smeared, tantrum-loving, sonic collision between the B52s, Kraftwerk and the early Ramones, Die Roten Punkte are truly one of a kind. Astrid’s avant-garde style and legendary antics inspire both reverence and fear, while Otto’s dynamic stage presence brings to mind a whirling dervish on meth.

Die Roten Punkte is one of the most irreverent and funny gigs you are ever likely to see.
