30 years of Subterfuge. 30 years of indie pop from Du"sseldorf. Having grown up together - jointly, side by side and for each other - and with hundreds of true tales in the backpack, here is their new album Dots. Dots. is nothing less than a biography. Not only that of Subterfuge, ours as well. Vibrant and ever-changing harmonic vocals about life as it is: warm and touching, surprising, dissonant, full of love and also brittle at times. College rock with kids on the passenger seat. Metropoli- tan country, Subpop in perfection - often 60s, preferably psychedelic, but never aiming for a downfall. Rather the opposite - their fifth album turns out to be their most positive. And it's the musical coincidence of six boys that know they will have each other for life. No kitsch here, no plastic romance, no superfluous drama. Just real life turned into music. Our life. Our own soundtrack. Yessica Yeti/Yeti Girls 2021 Subterfacts: Formed in '91 Subterfuge are one of a handful German first generation Indiepop groups that are still around. Between 1993 and 2005 the band recorded four studio albums, their third one I Do Birds was released in Japan by Philter Records. The Videosingle Silly Girl enjoyed rotation airtime on Germany music television VIVA2. For the 10th anniversary of their debut album Fabulous in 2003 twenty eight (!) bands (Slut, Miles, Readymade, Virginia Jetzt!, Nova International, Liquido, Pale, Paula and many more) recorded cover versions for the compilation Fabulous Friends. Until 2007 the band played >250 shows, as headliners as well as tour support for larger acts and festivals (Bizarre, Immergut etc.). Then priorities of the band members shifted towards solo projects while in parallel life's complexities kicked in. Even though the group remained closest friends, joint activities became scarce and the story seemed to be told. Until just now. Subterfuge: Daniel Klingen (Drums), Kai Blankenberg (Bass), Lars Schmidt (Vocals, Guitar), Lorenz Naumann (Keys, Guitar, Bass), Thomas Baumhoff (Vocals, Guitar), Tom Blankenberg (Keys)
