30 YEARS FULL SPEED AHEAD

With alternative rock hits like "Open Your Eyes" and "Lords Of The Boards", Guano Apes shook up the international music scene in the 90s. Since then, they have traveled the country with unstoppable energy as one of Germany’s most important and successful rock exports. In October 2024, the band will come to Z7 to celebrate their greatest hits and the 30th anniversary of Guano Apes with their Swiss fans.

In March 1998, Guano Apes created a stir in Switzerland for the first time over three consecutive days – at ISC Bern, Luv Zurich, and Bolgenschanze Davos. Those who attended one of the gigs remember a whirlwind in the shape of Sandra Nasic, captivating everyone present. Her three bandmates rocked until the sweat was pouring and it was dripping from the ceiling. This live energy and the explosive mix of hard sounds with catchy melodies, along with Nasic’s impressive voice, made an impact. The album "Proud Like A God" went through the roof. It sold around three million copies worldwide and is still considered the most successful English-language debut album of a German rock band. A career launch of epic proportions.

Henning Rümenapp, Dennis Poschwatta, Stefan Ude, and Sandra Nasic produced an album in 1997 with youthful carefreeness in the Göttingen area, which subsequently led to a triumphal march through the rock charts of the world, giving a voice to Generation X and starting a career that has now lasted three decades. Nasic became the first and loudest woman in the genre, with "Open Your Eyes" and "Lords Of The Boards" becoming global anthems. The band received several platinum and gold awards, an Echo, and the MTV Europe Music Award for "Best German Act" - to name just a few accolades. But that was just the beginning. The following three albums consistently topped the German charts. More single hits followed, such as "Pretty In Scarlet", "Big In Japan", "You Can't Stop Me", and "Sunday Lover". In autumn 2024, the Guano Apes, still operating in their original formation, will return to Switzerland to properly celebrate the 30th birthday of their band with the fans.
