So this is what happens when a band writes songs in a secluded cabin in the italian mountains and then takes these songs on a pub tour from Munich to Dublin and back. On the debut album “Farewell to Fate” (Release: Oct 11th 2013) one can almost feel the sweat and taste the beer that accompanied the song's journey. If there is one band that deserves a pint or two then it is Young Chinese Dogs. This band only plays acoustic instruments that they can carry with their own two hands to the gig. No more, no less.

Long Way From Home

'Great Lake State' - der Name ist Programm. Das zweite Album der YOUNG CHINESE DOGS verbindet zwei Welten, die den Sound der Band gleichermaßen beeinflusst haben. Auf der einen Seite stehen die unendlichen Landschaften Amerikas und der Ursprung des Folk & Country. Auf der anderen die Heimat der Wahlmünchner, die atemberaubende Natur und Großstadtfeeling zugleich bietet. Berge, Seen, Lagerfeuer, akustische Instrumente, aber auch rohe Beats und Texte, die das Leben schreibt. Dazu die einzigartigen Gesangsstimmen.
Der Sound der YOUNG CHINESE DOGS is opulenter geworden, öffnet sich neuen musikalischen Einflüssen, verrät aber dennoch nie seine Lagerfeuerwurzeln. 'Great Lake State“ bietet zwölf Songs, die abwechslungsreicher nicht sein könnten. Sexy Folk trifft auf schmutzigen Rock 'n' Roll, Hip-Hop paart sich mit Country, fröhliche Beats folgen auf melancholische Balladen. Doch eines haben sie alle gemeinsam: Jeder einzelne Song geht unter die Haut und lädt zum Mitsingen ein.
Das Album ist innerhalb der letzten zwei Jahre dort entstanden, wo sich die Band am wohlsten fühlt – on the road. Und genau da geht es auch weiter: Ab Oktober sind die YOUNG CHINESE DOGS mit 'Great Lake State' auf Tour.

Between Lines

Robinson Crusoe (Remastered)

"James" was the first track written for the new Jordan Prince album "12 Songs for 12 Friends" (2018). 

Lyrics:
James, are you smiling, are you smiling at me?
James, are you crying, are you trying to sleep?
James, are you driving, have you had too much to drink?
James, keep on writing, 'cause you've got too much to sing. 

I know, I was a heavy burden on your soul.
But James, please know you'll always be my rock n' roll. 

James, are you playing, are you playing with me?
James, are you praying, are you chasing your dreams?

I know, I was a heavy burden on your soul.
But James, please know you'll always be my rock n' roll. 

James, you were shaking, shaking up everything,
James, you were angry, but you were always so sweet. 

I know, I was a heavy burden on your soul.
But James, please know you'll always be my rock n' roll. 
I know, I was a heavy burden on your soul.
But James, please know you'll always be my rock n' roll.
