Loona, the star of international pop is back

Climbing to place 1 of the German charts in 1998 the hit single „Bailando“ turned Marie-José van der Kolk also known as „Loona“ into a star over night.

Discovered during a holiday job on Mallorca, the singer who is originally from the Netherlands, celebrated the most successful single in Spanish language on the German charts. With catchy records like „Bailando“ and „Hijo de la luna“ she caused a sensation in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

For „Bailando“ and „Mamboleo“ Loona was awarded the „Echo“ in 1998 and 1999, the most important German music prize. After things went quiet around her in the last few years, Loona is back with full power, presenting her new single „Everybody on the floor (Uhlalala)“.

The Sweet

The Sweet made some of the most enduring and influential music of the 70´s, ´80s and 90´s.

They have sold in excess of thirty million records and are still a ´live` touring band. There is so much more to Sweet than just the Glam-Rock era, their music is timeless and all encompassing.

From pure pop to heavy metal, from three chord wonders like ´Little Willy` to the highly intricate arrangements of ´Love is Like Oxygen`.

The Boss Hoss

They wear Stetsons, drink cans of beer, love Whiskey and are proud to be cowboys.

The German Urban Country Rockers met in Berlin and never expected such a fast rising success. The Boss Hoss are: Boss Burns (vocals), Hoss Power (vocals and guitar), Frank Doe (drums), Hank Williamson (Harp, Mandoline, Washboard, Stylophon), Guss Brooks (Double-Bass-Fiddle), Russ T. Rocket (Electric Axe) and Ernsto Escobar de Tijuana (Percussion, Melodica, Rattle Snake).

The first single “Hey Ya” developed from insider-music-tip to party classics, also the song “Yee Haw” and many more. The album Internashville Urban Hymns was sold over 250.000 times in Germany.
During the summer the band produced the new album and played many festivals and concerts in Europe. After the great tour in Canada in March and some gigs in Great Britain in May The BossHoss will once again play overseas! The boys will jump into the bull-ring of Palma de Mallorca, play their famous songs and also present their new album “Everything Counts”.
