Tune in for State of the Art on The Breakfast Spread, Wednesday November 7, when the team chats to Otto & Astrid from the (self-proclaimed) best band in the world: Die Roten Punkte, about their upcoming collaboration with Circus Oz - Rock Bang.

Rock Bang is a circus rock opera - it's an energetic concoction and spectacle that shows off some extremely pliable acrobatics with one of the most solid and infamous musical duos ever created.

Circus Oz Artistic Director, Rob Tannion, explains "we are so thrilled to finally premiere this exclusive season of Rock Bang - a riotous hard-rocking Circus Oz explosion by Otto & Astrid. It combines loud rock music, big speakers, unapolgetic circus skills and tricks, alongside plenty of stupidity and laughter."

Part rock concert, part side-splitting comedy and smashed together with acrobatic punk anarchy, Rock Bang is a sensory feast of heart stopping stunts, physical ridiculousness, soaring guitars, thumping drums and contagious tunes.

Utterly dysfunctional siblings Otto & Astrid attempt to tell their fantastical life story as orphans and growing up in artist-filled squats to become the darlings of Berlin’s underground rock scene.
