In the artist's words:

Through The Web Of Time - 40 years of Rainbirds (DE)

In 1986, the Rainbirds turned a plan into a hit: with "Blueprint", they not only created a song, but a real blueprint for sophisticated pop music. The sound of the Berlin band led by singer and songwriter Katharina Franck still proves its worth four decades after its formation: When pop is done well, it goes straight to the heart.

The Rainbirds' songs have lost none of their relevance. They are tender, playful, sprawling and minimalist. And they always have the urge to be heard. For the band's 40th anniversary, they are returning to the stage in their (expanded) original line-up: founding members Katharina Franck and bassist Michael Beckmann as well as pianist, composer and long-time "Rainbird" Ulrike Haage will be joined on stage by electric guitarist Werner Neumann and drummer Dominique "Gaga" Ehlert.
