Many dreams of the German musician folk usually fall flat at the starting line, if you wereto look at how most fair against their other countrymen in history.  You have that metalwall of ​Rammstein​ that sticks in front of most onlookers living outside of their borders, ohand there’s ​Kraftwerk​.  Who would have imagined a mainstream global success story fortwo young, German men from a fairly small industrial town named ​Kassel​ having a heftynumber of Australians 14,000 km’s away booking tickets to see them perform live everytime they come to town.  It’s  a story of two unlikely lads, but it’s also one of two incrediblytalented lads that created something different that separates them from any otherpopular artists you know.Milky Chance ​are ​Philipp Dausch​ and ​Clemens Rehbein.​  They met at school, growing-uplistening to ​Bob Marley​, ​Hendrix ​& ​Red Hot Chilli Peppers​ to name but a few.  Getting togetherto make music in the early days was less about plotting global success, it was insteadmore about having fun.  One of their first songs, however, quickly changed things - It wasStolen Dance​.  More specifically it was a unique sounding folktronica song that spannedacross most commercial & alternative radio playlists across the globe.  That momentthey uploaded it to ​Youtube​ was about 6 yrs ago, but the fact it’s ​one of the mostShazamed songs of all time​ tells you all you need to know.
Like a Darwinian success story, Milky Chance quickly adapted to their new foundsurroundings &  pulled together an album & was touring the world within months.  Thatdebut album, ​Sadnecessary​, that boasts other successful singles ​Down By The River​ &Flashed Junk Mind​, went on to become a multi-platinum record in various countries thatsaw this German duo play on US late night shows like ​Fallon​, ​Kimmel​ & ​O’Brien​ and garnerevery major worldwide press outlet that had an interest in music.Fast-forward a few years to 2017 & the band launched their second album​ Blossom​.  Thisalbum faced the oh-so-common question of whether to keep to what brought success ordevelop into something that changed with the winds of the current chart trends.  Theband chose to hold strong to what made them so popular, but adding far more layers inquality learned on the road. Lead singles ​Cocoon​ & ​Doing Good​ embodied their approach& it was a hugely successful album, amassing hundreds of millions of plays acrossstreaming platforms, and more Gold & Platinum records came tumbling in worldwide,and they went on to play to 241 shows across 41 countries.
