Paula

Elke Brauweiler's side project is Commercial Breakup (responsible for the cute remake of Bizzare Love Triangle, which has been remixed into a funky techno-electro tune by Lexy & k-paul)

Berend Intelmann 's side project is Berend, which i have not heard unfortunately

but paula's sound is a mixture of italo disco, german techno-electro pop, and a bit of post-modern lounge, with tounge in cheek pop sensibilities.

blending electronics, guitars, and vocals in a way that youd think would be obvious but for some reason i fail to recall anyone else sounding like this.

yes its fluffy, but they do their music with such style that it wouldnt get irritating or played out.

it'd be great to see them perform live, looks like an interesting intimate show

your feeble attempts to highjack are fruitless

g is for german, we do not watch tv

paula is from germany too (me thinks)

and kompressor uses very german kraut inspired industrial-electro beats

paula uses electro beats

yay paula!!
