Fresh from Glastonbury Festival!
Join Berlin’s Prince and Princess of Art Rock and Europop on The Stages Tour, as they thunder through a blisteringly hilarious set of songs from (almost) all of their albums. The utterly dysfunctional siblings are a lipstick smeared sonic collision between The B-52s, The Pixies, Kraftwerk and early Ramones. This multi award-winning duo have played everywhere from Soho Theatre London, Joe’s Pub – New York, The Roxy – Los Angeles, and opened for Amanda Palmer in Europe, USA, and Australia.
One of the most irreverently side-splitting gigs you are ever likely to see, with ridiculously infectious songs, Otto & Astrid are truly one of a kind.
Catch them live at Sydney Fringe in September and Melbourne Fringe in October.

Otto & Astrid Play the Greatest Rock ’n’ Roll Concert You’ve Ever Seen!
A lipstick smeared sonic collision between The B-52s, Pixies, Kraftwerk and early Ramones, this is one of the most irreverently side-splitting gigs you are ever likely to see. With ridiculously infectious songs and sublime physical comedy, Otto & Astrid are truly one of a kind.
★★★★★ “The perfect musical comedy act. It should not be missed.” Broadway Baby
★★★★ “Louder that the White Stripes, more dysfunctional than Metallica and funnier than Flight of the Conchords.” Irish Times
★★★★★ “Otto and Astrid are a triple threat: consummate musicians, comics and actors… together they are phenomenal.” ArtsHub, Melbourne
★★★★★ “Fiendishly smart comedy…The show is a riot of fabulous visual sight gags, sharply witty banter and big musical beats.” Shadows on the Wall, UK
★★★★ “Imagine an indie rock version of Tenacious D, Flight of the Concords or Steel Panther!” Theatre Weekly, UK
★★★★ “Otto & Astrid have enough musical clout to rock as hard as they joke.” The List, UK
★★★★ “Anarchic, chaotic and absurd fun. This is a hidden gem of a show, and unlike anything else you will see at the (Edinburgh) Fringe this year. Hilariously disestablishmentarian!” North West End, UK
★★★★ “A hallucinogenic hour of utterly engrossing performances, strobe lighting and pastiche songs with hilarious lyrics. The music is toe-tapping and hilarious, and the call-and-response style is utterly infectious.” Ed Fringe Review, UK
★★★★ “Unapologetically quirky, audibly resonant, and thematically rich…attendees are left with the sensation of having witnessed something unparalleled” The Quintissential Review, UK
★★★★1/2 “They are masters of their craft; the skill of execution and the hilarious comedic elements from many levels makes this production a must-see bucket list show.” Theatre Matters, Melbourne
“These guys are a match made in heaven or maybe hell. Their show formula works, often hilarious and always entertaining to an audience who loves them dearly.” Stage Whispers, Melbourne
“A hilarious blast of punk rock cabaret from the self-proclaimed ‘Berlin’s Prince and Princess of art rock and Europop.’ Their timing so critical to great comedy, is spot-on and their antics bring to mind the comedic genius of the silent film era… if you ever do get the opportunity see this show… grab it with both hands.” Melbourne Observer

September 23-25th.
Alongside some other ROCK’N’ROLL ROYALTY like The Dandy Warhols, Winston Surfshirt, DZ Deathrays, DMA’s and a favourite of ours, Wolfmother!
Wanderer heralds a watershed new genre of boutique festival: a truly multi-generational celebration of music, art, culture and place across three days and founded on the core tenets of sustainability, community and creativity. The kindred soul and official successor of The Lost Lands, much of the DNA from that unique event carries over, albeit with a renewed vision and purpose. A sanctuary of music, art and community crafted with Wanderer’s different audiences in mind in three unique spaces.
The infamous Haus Party is back! Otto & Astrid (from Die Roten Punkte), Berlin’s prince and princess of art rock and Europop host a raucous evening of the very best musical comedy, circus and variety acts. Past guests include; Frisky & Mannish, Bridget Everett, Paul Foot, David O’Doherty and Le Gateau Chocolat. ‘All you really need to know is this: they’re hilarious’ (CBC Canada). ‘Otto and Astrid take rock to a new level with this wild cabaret’ (Herald Sun, Melbourne). ‘Pitch perfect pop parody. Too much fun!’ (Scotsman).
