Originating from Germany, the twins Josef and Jan are not unfamiliar with Australia, having packed their rucksacks and relocating here in 2013 to rekindle a deep mutual love of music. Since then, they have chiselled away at Australian audiences with their acoustic set; heard largely on the streets of Melbourne. Whoever has experienced AMISTAT and their wonderful experience, live on stage or busking, is touched by the emotional investment in their music. Born with the intimacy only twins share, Josef and Jan produce a unique synergy through the use of tightly knit harmonies, shaped by an honest, storytelling vocal tone. The pair is able to communicate their inspirations, drawn from a life on the road; infusing their sentiments, hopes and ambitions to develop a unique and honest message to their audiences. Highlighting their individuality, the brothers bring together their contrasting musical styles and personalities to create a balanced sound, which is soaked in melancholy.
