sinopsis:

For this Switzerland-based, all-female act, music is not just the sum of its constituent parts but rather the multi-level show that the band has created. Their songs, written in the provocative tones of avant-garde cabaret, brings together a legacy of more than two centuries of popular urban music, waltz and punk music, classical Lied form and tango.
