Die Sterne, Matze Rossi, Jonas Gavriil
Die Sterne - Timeless Poets of German Indie-Pop
For over 30 years, Die Sterne have been one of the most influential bands in the German music scene – unmistakable, eloquent, and musically versatile. As important protagonists of the Hamburg school, they have significantly shaped the sound of the 1990s while continually reinventing themselves. The Hamburg school, that special movement between indie, pop, and punk, stands like no other movement for clever, ironic lyrics and a DIY attitude. Die Sterne, led by frontman Frank Spilker, are one of the great constants of this genre. Their songs, including classics like "Was hat dich bloß so ruiniert" and "Universal Tellerwäscher," combine socially critical themes with a musical lightness inspired by funk, disco, and indie pop. Founded in 1992 in Hamburg, the band, led by Frank Spilker, has always been more than just a voice of their generation. Their intelligent, often ironic lyrics tap into the pulse of social issues and critically engage with everyday phenomena.
Their concerts are legendary: gripping, approachable, and always full of energy. For long-time fans as well as for a new generation of listeners, they create a space where music, lyrics, and community merge.

Jonas Gavriil
Jonas Gavriil, 24 years old and raised in Pforzheim, embodies with his Nordic aura an exciting blend of melancholy and liveliness. Even as a child, he was fascinated by the songs of Reinhard Mey, which taught him how to tell stories in a touching and authentic way. These early influences can also be found today in his own songs – handmade and real. Jonas combines classic singer-songwriter traditions with modern indie-pop elements, increasingly writing German songs that possess a melancholic yet powerful depth. With a charismatic voice that can be both gentle and powerful, Jonas creates an atmosphere that impresses sustainably. With his new German pieces, which are often more melancholic and profound, Jonas opens another facet of his artistic expression. Jonas Gavriil is a musician who conveys genuine emotions with every note and every line.
