German Pop - Chupacabras

December 7, 2012

It's hard to put your finger on just where Chupacabras are coming from. They mix and mash countless styles in their songs and have a penchant for switching from German to Spanish - sometimes mid-sentence.

In this edition of German Pop, we present a report written by Suzanne Cords from the 2012 c/o pop festival in Cologne, Germany. We'll hear from the band and listen in on their concert at the event.

And if you're wondering about the band's curious name - which translates to "goat-sucker" - we'll also delve into the Chupacabras' history, starting with their founding in Cologne about ten years ago.
