Alex im Westerland - Die Toten Hosen & Die Ärzte Tribute

Tribute bands for Die Ärzte are plentiful, cover bands for Die Toten Hosen likewise - but acts that play exclusively the hits of both groups are genuinely rare.

"Alex im Westerland" from Frankfurt fall squarely into that category: their set list is 100% drawn from the biggest songs of these two punk-rock institutions. The four musicians care not just about the party, but also about an authentically faithful sound - complete with the multi-part harmonies typical of Die Ärzte, the guitar solos characteristic of Die Toten Hosen, and the occasional solo acoustic guitar.

A defining feature of the show is the active involvement of the audience, who become an integral part of the evening.
