Silly is a revered rock band from East Germany that has become a staple in the German rock music scene. Founded in the late 1970s by Tamara Danz, Matthias Schramm, Ulrich Mann, and Michael Schafmeier, Silly was part of a vibrant underground music culture in East Germany. After the early death of founding member Thomas Fritzsching, Rüdiger Barton took over the keyboards. The band encountered censorship and political scrutiny but continued to produce music that challenged the status quo. Fronted by charismatic singer Tamara Danz until her untimely death in 1996, her powerful voice and stage presence made Silly one of the most iconic bands in German rock history.

Following Danz's death, Silly went through a period of transition but eventually found new strength and continued to record and tour with new vocalists. Their enduring appeal is evidenced in their recent releases, which show an impressive range of styles, from the propulsive energy of "Hamsterrad" to reflective ballads like "Februar." Albums like "Kopf an Kopf" and their live album "Unplugged" showcase their ability to connect with audiences through both electric and acoustic sets. "Tamara Danz - Asyl im Paradies" serves to honor their original lead singer and ensures that her legacy continues within the band's evolving sound. Silly has not only maintained their significant influence within the German music community but also adapted to the changing soundscape, continually engaging with new and long-time fans across generations.
