The story of the name and start of the story

Since the end of 2010 we started our current project LA MIMOSAS.

We are always asked by the people: 
“What’s the reason for that crazy name?”

In the following you can read a brief explanation.

The name was created during a funny family dinner in 2010.

We took a bulk of tasty red vine over a few hours. Two unknown guys played some music in the background. No - they didn't play their instruments. They just handled with one of these Japanese entertainer key-boards and threw out one Midi file after another; all of those which you can buy in the music store around the corner or download them at Amazon or wherever. Quite a lot of stuff for us... handmade musicians!!! The sound was horrible …

We didn't know the names of the two guys.

Andreas was the first who said:

"Their name must be LA MIMOSAS or something like this".

Well we created some funny stories around the name, the places where the two guys probably perform and the audience they might be playing for. 

I am not able to repeat that kind of childish prattle. Nobody could follow.

You know those jokes were that kind of stuff you only can understand if you are directly in the situation with the same level of alcohol which we had …

The evening ran through our fingers.

Later on we entered the stage and played a few songs - without using midis. Just with an acoustic guitar! We played some Stones, Beatles and Mellencamp stuff.

It was a big fun due to the fact that we really have had enough of that tasty red vine.

The audience - mainly people from Belgium on a trip to Germany – asked enthusiastic:

"Who are these guys?”

Andreas answered spontaneously:

"We are La Mimosas and we're going to rock the house."

So - the name and the concept were born and that is the simple story behind the name and the beginning of the La Mimosas story.

Before you ask the question:

Yes we know that La Mimosas is the wrong Spanish spelling. 
But we won't rename it.

We see that as the originary freedom of arts. Take it this way …

The concept follows a simple idea:

We like to entertain our audience with good music from each genre we love to play.

It equals if it is pop, rock, soul, funk, black music or crossover – you name it however you like to name it.

Yes of course - we use also playbacks. But we never use midi files that make similar and comparable sounds with at least one millions of other bands and musicians. No!

• Each single tone is played by ourselves or friends of us.
• Each song is recorded, produced and mastered in our own studio.
• That gives a specific and unique La Mimosas sound. 

That's a key element for us!

On stage we mix up the program with our own compositions and cover songs.

In addition to that we enhance the show with an acoustic set – only with guitar and great vocals.

A Live Gig is a statement for fun and party

That is our easy message! 

Feel free to join one of our Live shows – we would appreciate it.

If you like to know, what a real Mimosa is – watch the following video. I found it on Youtube.

But be sure:

Even if we are sensitive and emotional - It has nothing to do with our general attitude and performance on stage!

Hope to see you soon.
