Stereo Total is a Berlin-based French-German duo. Members are Fran?oise Cactus (born Fran?oise Van Hove) and Brezel ('pretzel') G?ring (aka Friedrich von Finsterwalde, born Friedrich Ziegler).
Former members include Angie Reed, San Reimo, Iznogood (Iznogoud is the character of a French comic book series by Jean Tabary and René Goscinny) and Lesley Campbell. Their music can be described as a humorous mix of Synth-Pop, New Wave, Electronica, Punk, and pop music. Some of their tracks are playful, low-fi versions of pop/rock/soul songs. In the same vein, they made a pop version of Salt-N-Pepa's electro rap hit "Push It". Stereo Total are a truly multilingual band, singing usually in German, French, and English; as well as other languages such as Japanese, Spanish, or Turkish.
Stereo Total have constantly been on tour all around the world for the last six years: North and South America, Japan, Russia, Europe, China, Turkey. The new record represents the concerts in a good way: minimalist electro-chansons right between Punkrock, Rock'n'Roll, Disco and New Wave, played on guitar, drums and Sampler, played by two people sounding like a hord of horses on cheap drugs.
Although best-known as "Electro-Duo" Stereo Total always used drums and guitar on stage, a rarity in most clubs the past years (where "live-set" mainly meant CD-Playback), but Stereo Total have always played both: the clubs and the rock venues (where on the other hand apart from them - almost nobody performed with sampler and synthesizer).
