About the Band
"Lyrics about Lina. Lyrics about love. Lyrics about your sister."
Known for their poppy guitars, slick bass, addicting vocals, vibrant synthesizers, and the occasional glockenspiel, Von Wegen Lisbeth is a German-language indie-pop band hailing from Berlin.
Their lyrics— mainly written by the lead singer Matthias Rohde— are ever-topical, and encapsulate the zeitgeist of our generation: gentrification, dating apps, Elon Musk, and academic expectations, woven into mundane, everyday stories of overheated ICEs and Berlin bars— all extremely danceable, too.
Nevertheless, Von Wegen Lisbeth often remains faithful to the pop genre with songs of heartbreak and love, such as “Momo,” “Westkreuz,” and “Was machst du noch hier?” albeit with an undeniable Lisbeth charm.
