Are these guys (well, the guy and the other thing) still alive/kicking? They had that weird video where the scary one was wearing a big furry coat last time I saw them. Boys was good but Slipping Into You was absolutely mighty. I know it's the wrong time of year to start loving Germany but it really was Banana.

They were an amazingly ace pop band, at least from the 3 songs I heard by them. They haven't released anything since 2002 but Wikipedia Deutsch suggests the singer Guy went solo in 2005. However, there is also the word "comeback" in the same sentence as "band" at the end of the article, which sounds promising.

Guy! That's a very dissapointing name. I'd have liked him to be called Franz or something....He should definitely get in touch with Deed Poll, I think it could resurrect his career.

Well he is called Guy Cross which brings up lots of videos of "guy crossing the road" on YouTube, which is kind of funny. And the other one is called Claus, which should be German enough for you?

Jessica Claus is alot better! Santa Claus! Hahaha. Guy Cross sounds like a railway station. And not a German one either.

There's a place called Gerard's Cross near High Wycombe, maybe it's named after Guy's brother?

But you know it'll be pronounced "Ghee", being as they are of foreign persuasion.

Hello! His (family) name is not "Cross", but its "Gross" actually. "Gross" means "tall, big" in German. It's kind of funny though, with the english forename.
And yes, they are about to make a comeback. There was quite a publicity stunt. A few weeks ago there was a site online which only featured phrases like "More than 1 Million Singles Sold" "More than XX The Dome performances" "More Than XX Videos on High Rotation" and so on. And then it said something like: "This band wants to be signed. Interested?". It was later revealed that the Band Ohne Namen was behind this.
