Playing a child-sized drum set and guitar, Berlin rockers Die Roten Punkte (The Red Dots) belt out '80s techno Euro pop, '90s-era robot music and glam-punk. A hit at fringe festivals worldwide, brother-sister duo Otto and Astrid Rot perform an intensely funny stage show infused with original songs and comedic banter about their suspiciously close relationship. With dreams of becoming “the best band in the world,” and orphaned by some “tragic” twist of fate, Otto and Astrid keep audiences laughing and cheering with antics that underscore the absurdity of pop stardom and fame.
