Popa Sapka is Romanian pop punk, roots and ska band. Their music has a specific sound, which attracts the crowds all over Europe. The band is very homogeneous and energetic, even though it was established two years ago. The music of Popa Sapka, heavily influenced by Balcan melodies and rhythms, is a mix of ska, pop, punk, gipsy, reggae, folk and last but not least, the traditional music of „mother Russia”. They’ve named this world music mixture „Balkan Pop-Ska”.  Their lyrics' style, originated from the band's multicultural background, present a twisted mix of English, Russian, Romanian and Gagauzian languages. And their songs' light-heartedness and sincerity is what makes Popa Sapka appealing to everyone, regardless of age, height, weight, hair and eye color.



GREEN FROG FEET (GER)

Thomas Preissl (lead vocal), Rudi Dengler (guitar), Alexander Walter (bass), Toni Hirschberger (drums)

Green.Frog.Feet are beyond any doubt, one of the most sensational newcomer at the moment. Put the guys on stage, and it will definitely be on fire – as impressively proved by the quartet about over 500 times in the meantime. The guys hit the bull`s eye with a cogent show, style and pop-punk-sound, and are advancing to be Germany`s punkrock export hit!

They won BEST NEWROCKER 2005 at MTV ROCKZONE and could perform their song “SCORE” at the famous TRL-Stage. A further big highlight in July 2007 was supporting the US-Superstar P!NK in Bavaria/Germany in front of 14.000 visitors. Besides the band shared the stages with a lot of famous bands like Dog Eat Dog (USA), Jennifer Rostock (GER), Itchypoopzkid (GER), The Hives (SE), UK Subs (UK), The Exploited (UK) Sick of it all (USA), The Killers (USA), Beatsteaks (GER), NO USE FOR A NAME (USA), MOBY, H-Blockx (GER), Die Happy (GER), Donots (GER), Itchypoopzkid (GER), The Busters (GER), Such a Surge (GER), and many many more…and played moreover the German-tour-support for “LESS THAN JAKE” (USA) in June 2009.

This band is a kind of a starting rocket!
