about

The Staches are from Geneva, Switzerland, now based in Leipzig, Germany. Their new LP 'This Lake is Pointless' was self-recorded at home in their beloved Proberaum, late at night, when even the toughest metalheads next door had long since passed out. The group have been together for a decade but are not couples, nor a couple of couples, neither are they a quadruple. They are simply The Staches.

Like couples though they occasionally fight, but they do love each other. Becoming masters and mistresses in the art of managing the goat and the cabbage, together their artistic creations are tricky sonic strategies that challenge tags, labels and conventional boxes. Driven by the fear of the undefined, some have tried to describe their music and confused themselves with designations like punk, post-punk, lo-fi pop, prog rock, garage and lost themselves even more with comparisons with any rock band including at least one woman. Fools that they are. Who the fuck cares. These young dinguses are fun to listen to and fun to watch. Punkt.
