A little-known fact: After his Hollywood career, Yoda retired to Vienna, where he spent a lot of time in Bruno’s apartment in the second district. One evening, after a band rehearsal – the band still had no name at that point – and a few beers, Yoda said in his unmistakable idiom: "Friends of Yoda you are!". And just like that, the band's name was decided.

2011

First line-up: Completely acoustic, featuring the great Sonja Eppinger, who also appeared as a guest singer on our first album.

2012

The year of two singers: In the first half of the year, Sophie Schnitzer took the mic, followed by Doris Laaber in the summer. Christopher left the band, and Toni (who traveled all the way from Hungary) took his place on drums. Toni and Ludo (from France) on bass stayed with us for several years. We were also joined by Sascha Wenzel on harmonica.

In 2014, Doris left the band, making Bruno the full-time vocalist. This line-up, often referred to by fans as 'New Order', became the most stable formation to date.
