17 HIPPIES LIVE IN BERLIN

2006

For our 10th anniversary we released a live album (along with a DVD, featuring footage of different projects of ours) of our live show played at or living room, the Berlin “Kesselhaus”, where we still play our annual “Hippie-Haus-Tanz”. The album was originally supposed to be called “The greatest show on Earth”, but after a letter from “Barnum & Beiley” we renamed it.
