Interview – Die Goldenen Zitronen

Die Goldenen Zitronen are a band from founded in 1984. This year they are 30 sic! year in the music business. But still are active on and off stage. A good example for their engagement is the conflict around the Esso buildings in Hamburg at Reeperbahn. In the interview we are talking about gentrification, the goldies and how to talk not only about their lyrics but also focusing on their music. (Interview was held in German)
