OOMPH! at Echo 2007: Banned last year, this year a nomination!
You’re sure to remember the controversial banning of OOMPH! last year from the Echo awards ceremony because of their single, “Gott ist ein Popstar”. Dero, Crap and Flux took it in stride and awarded their tickets to 3 fans. The neckties in charge of the Echos seem to have conveniently forgotten all about their overreactions last year, because this year OOMPH! have not only been invited to the ceremony, they’re also nominated in the category “National Rock/Alternative Group of the Year” – and, go figure this, for their 2006 CD “GlaubeLiebeTod”…yes, the album containing “Gott ist ein Popstar”, as well as the original version of “Träumst Du?” which provided the basis for the version that recently won Stefan Raab’s Bundesvision Song Contest hands down. This new version of “Träumst Du?”, featuring the fabulous duet with Dero and special guest singer Marta Jandová of Die Happy, is also included on the reissue of the current OOMPH! ‘Best Of’ album “Delikatessen”. And this album just re-entered the German album charts at Number 72!
He who laughs last laughs loudest, so OOMPH! are really pleased to see “GlaubeLiebeTod” nominated for the Echo this year. No guts, no glory – and 2007 is seeing things go OOMPH!’s way. Heart and courage DO pay off in the end, and 2006’s “GlaubeLiebeTod” is finally getting the recognition it deserves!
As a small token of thanks for your undying support, we’re having a drawing starting this coming Friday here at www.oomph.de for tickets to the WOK World Championships on March 9th in Innsbruck, Austria! By the way: The winning Bundesvision Song Contest Team is warming up for the event wink ! Don’t miss out on this WOK insanity! Check back in and snatch up the tickets!

Yay for the irony! I remember when they got banned last year...they offered to perform GieP in English and that got shot down too. Seriously, stop censoring/banning stuff that just might tick a couple people off! scream Ok, I'm done ranting. For now.
I want those tickets...would I be able to make it over there? No. But I still want them...
