Neat Ralf - thanks for sharing!
I like the wardrobe; immediately thought I was looking at Scuderia Ferrari pit crew.

Very good! This way you don't have to deal with all the booking crap that much. Jut set up on a corner, play and get away before the cops arrive.

I would love to do something like that one day!

BTW they also have a bandcamp site with music to buy:

I'm almost certain that they share members from Stronzo Gelantino and the Boo-Men. Similar name, similar colors, similar sound, same city.

Yep, that's Gary on guitar and I think the drummer plays in both bands

Very cool act.
