Silbermond: Неміс поп-рок тобының тарихы

German pop/rock band

Silbermond ("silver moon") is a German pop rock band from Bautzen, Saxony. The band consists of Stefanie Kloß, Andreas Nowak, and brothers Johannes and Thomas Stolle.

The band members originally met in 1998 when they participated in the music project Ten Sing. Two years later, they decided to form their own group, and as a result they began performing locally under the name JAST (composed by the initial letters of band members). In 2001, they changed their name to Silbermond, simultaneously concentrating on songs in German for the first time.

In January 2004, the group got the chance to perform as opening act for singer Jeanette Biedermann. Afterwards, they released their first single "Mach's dir selbst", followed up by their debut album Verschwende deine Zeit, which became a major success and was eventually certified 7× gold and platinum in Germany and Austria. Also in 2009, Silbermond won the MTV Europe Music Award for Best German Act. In 2012, the fourth studio album, Himmel auf, was released. A top three success, it reached gold status in Austria and 3× gold status in Germany. Its same titled debut single peaked within the top five in Germany. In 2014, Alles auf Anfang 2014–04, Silbermond's first compilation, was released. It reached the top ten in Austria and Switzerland and was certified gold by the BVMI. The same year, the band collaborated with Band Aid 30 Germany on a remake of "Do They Know It's Christmas? ", which became another number one hit in Germany. Also in 2014, lead singer Stefanie Kloß debuted as a coach on the reality competition television series The Voice of Germany. Leichtes Gepäck, the group's fifth album, was released in November 2015. Recorded in Nashville, Tennessee, it reached the top five in Germany and Switzerland. In 2017, Kloß appeared on the fourth season of Sing meinen Song – Das Tauschkonzert, the German adaption of the TV series The Best Singers.
