Die Roten Punkte

Die Roten Punkte (German for "The Red Dots") is a pop-music comedy duo composed of Australians Clare Bartholomew and Daniel Tobias, in the tradition of Spinal Tap and Flight of The Conchords.[1][2] Like The White Stripes, the band members[3] claim to be a brother and sister, named Otto Rot and Astrid Rot, and they banter and sing in German accents of questionable authenticity.[4][5]
The band has released four studio albums.
