MIA.

Gradually building momentum since 1999, the band MIA (originally “Me in Affairs,” yet eventually only found in acronym form) formed in 1997 using the meeting of two musical pairs (individually, Mieze Katz/Andy Penn and Robert Schütze/Ingo Puls) as well as the addition of the stray drummer. After an early on solitary premiered without very much fanfare, the music group changed the drummer (Hannes Schulze) with Gunnar Spies and shifted to a reasonably successful full recording with Hieb & StichFEST in 2001. Though just barely breaking the German Best 50, the next launch, Was Ist Est, obtained the band even more notoriety than that they had bargained for with poetic referrals that may be used as excessively nationalistic sentiment, appeared down upon highly as vaguely Nazi-related in contemporary Germany. Washing their picture up a little, the band added a range for the Eurovision competition in 2004 that concurrently developed their graph standings somewhat. Using their third record, Zirkus, in 2006, the music group finally tasted graph success with an instant peak at number 2, though particular singles rarely damaged the very best 20. A short international appearance using the Live Globe concert series implemented in 2007 as well as the introduction from the one “Mein Freund,” that was included on the follow-up 2008 discharge Wilkommen im Membership, which debuted at number 4 over the German graphs and sparked rumours of the English-language discharge as a aspect project. In the summertime of 2009 the music group continued hiatus, yet came back in 2011 to start out writing and documenting their fifth recording. 2012 saw the discharge of Tacheles, with business lead solitary “Fallschrim” getting into the German graphs at amount eleven.
