Wir sind Helden

I've been brushing up on my German lately by listening to webcasts, radio streaming, etc. My employer doesn't like us doing
that since it uses so much bandwith, so where possible I've been downloading webcasts and buying German music. A lot of German music seems to be dark, industrial, death-metal type stuff. There's also a subset of that Bavarian folk-polka music. It sounds corny, but some of it is really, really good- especially live. Using the word polka does it a bit of an injustice- kind of like calling Nancy Griffith or EmmyLou Harris country. It is technically true, but doesn't really capture the essence. Anyway, or in German, sowieso, I've discovered a band that I like as well as any band I've heard in a while. Some of it is that the lead singer- "Fraufronter", or something like that- is really cute and her voice matches her looks. She looks a bit elfin, like the blonde-haired female singer from sixpence none the richer, but a bit less pixieish. The band is "Wir sind Helden" (we are heroes), and they're worth checking out on itunes or someplace. I like every one of their songs except one about giving someone an elephant. Maybe something gets lost in the translation. If you find them, let me know what you think. They have a website with videos, a couple of which are really good as well.
