Otto & Astrid: The Stages Tour
Preview · Wed 5 Aug – Thu 6 Aug2 for 1 · Mon 10 Aug – Tue 11 Aug12+
Berlin's dysfunctional sibling Prince and Princess of art rock and Europop. Taylor Swift had Eras. Otto & Astrid go through stages. A lipstick-smeared sonic collision between The B-52s, Pixies, Kraftwerk, and early Ramones. Ridiculously catchy, blisteringly funny and surprisingly heartfelt. Think Tenacious D's absurdity meets Spinal Tap's incompetence, with Oasis-level combustibility. Fast, loud and impossible to look away from. 'The perfect musical comedy act – it should not be missed' ***** (BroadwayBaby.com). Hilarious! ***** (CBC Canada). 'White Stripes mated with Laurel and Hardy in the Black Forest' **** (Time Out).
