The Berlin band 1969 formed in 2011, led by singer Jannis Nicholou. Their debut album 'One' came out in 2014, and its single 'Wednesday' became a widely heard track. The group's lineup has included Daniel Klingenberg on bass, Moritz Katz on drums, and Dennis Lindemann on keyboards.
They've released a series of simply titled albums: 'II' in 2016, 'III' in 2018, and 'IV' in 2021. Other songs in their catalog include 'Save a Place,' 'Alex Where Are You,' and 'Laid.'
In 2017, the band faced plagiarism accusations over a song called 'My Baby,' though the claims were later dismissed. Their music draws from indie rock and pop, with some electronic touches.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
