About
Also known as: Familie Silly
Silly were one of East Germany's biggest rock bands, and Tamara Danz, their charismatic singer, was a huge part of why. The band formed in East Berlin in 1977 as Familie Silly, a name they were stuck with after the authorities refused plain Silly as too English. Their cat mascot, they claimed, behaved in a silly manner. The records are where it gets interesting. Their self titled debut came out in West Germany first, then arrived at home as Tanzt keiner Boogie? Mont Klamott, with its synth edge and a title track about Berlin's rubble hill, was voted East Germany's Album of the Year, and Liebeswalzer took the same prize despite censors forcing lyric rewrites. After Danz died in 1996, the surviving members returned in 2005 with actress Anna Loos at the mic. Their 2010 album Alles Rot reached number 3 in Germany, their biggest chart success.
