There's a song you might have heard, Lemon Tree. Do you know who sings this song? Fool's Garden! Read the biography of the group and answer the following questions.
When the guitarist Volker Hinkel and the singer Peter Freudenthaler founded the band "Fool’s Garden" in 1991, they couldn't really have figured what a great success their song "Lemon Tree" would have had in 1996. This megahit conquered the charts all around the world and, even nowadays, it's always played and sung along everywhere. All that allowed the band to reach a good fame and 3 "Fool's Garden" albums (6 singles) to climb the German Media Control Charts.
In order to continue with this success, the band had a new beginning in 2003.
Peter and Volker went in tour with a new band, a new album and a label of their own, with big success among old and new fans. And the new live musicians Gabriel Holz (guitar), Claus Müller (drums) and Dirk Blümlein (bass) became the new members of Fool's Garden.
Successful concerts followed in summer 2004, when the band played in Spain and in Russia. Fool's Garden delighted Russian fans in the famous Gorky Park, in the legendary Club 16 Tons in Moscow, and in St. Petersburg.
Their artistic creativity also brought to a new production. In a little time new songs were written, that will be included in a new album, the quality of which even goes beyond the previous ones. "Ready For The Real Life" was released on April 25th 2005 in Germany and other releases all over Europe will follow in the next month, with 12 new songs and a bonus track and not only the old fans of Fool's Garden music will be surprised by it.
