An Interview with Sandra Zettpunkt (The Legendary Bang and Die Fünf Freunde)

As part of our recent tribute to the Marsh Marigold label of Germany (see the article Fake Compilations - The Marsh Marigold Showcase (1989-2018) we posted last month) I dismissed my natural 'fanboy' shyness and mustered enough courage to contact one of Europe finest indie music DJ's over the last 20 years (all details can be found at the Golden Glades Radio Show website including archived playlists of some of the best music you have never heard about) who just happened to play in two of my favourite Marsh Marigold bands, The Legendary Bang and Die Funf Freunde's drummer, Sandra Zettpunkt.

Fake Compilations - The Marsh Marigold Showcase (1989-2018)

Whilst all notable musical trendies in my early 1990's student days were either trying to desperately suppress their middle class privilege by wearing scruffy clothes and going crazy for obscure grunge bands or trying to accentuate their pseudo intellectualism by loving all things Sarah Records...I somehow found myself more besotted with a German label called Marsh Marigold after hearing 50 000 000 Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong's track Amelia. 

EP Reviews - Whitewash the Tidemarks by Alaska (2018) (Marsh Marigold)

Alaska are a beguiling band. Not beguiling in the sense of the word that the fifty something lothario character in an old black and white movie might refer to the young subject of his affections, but more specifically in the manner that they are weirdly dynamic and ultimately extremely modish.
