Milky Chance vocalist opens up about music, friendship and life
Milky Chance's hit single 'Colorado' has been one of the hottest songs on the #ECRTop40. The German band caught up with ECR Top 40's Danny to find out more about the single, music and life.
When we first heard Milky Chance's new single, 'Colorado', it definitely got us into that Summer mood. The band's single comes off their latest album, 'Colorado'.
Milky Chance first broke into the music scene when the smash hit 'Stolen Dance' started to gain some serious traction around the globe.
The band originates from Kassel in Germany and we couldn't help but feel nostalgic taking a trip with them down memory lane.
ECR Top 40 host Danny caught up with vocalist and guitarist Clemens Rehbein and took it all the way back to that moment.
Just talking about it right now with you is crazy! If you start thinking back and start realising what happened over the past (almost) 8 years - it's crazy! I'm super grateful and it's a huge privilege that we're still here and that we can still live out our passion.

Clemens shares a stage with his best friend, bassist and percussionist, Philipp Dausch.
Have you ever wondered what's it must be like living your dream, playing music and traveling the world with your best friend?
It's the essence and basement of this project - our friendship. We were pretty lucky that we met each other and get along so well with each other. It's been a lot of fun and so nice to experience it all together.
Just like all creative around the world, the last year and a half has been a challenging time. How has the band been coping with performing around 160 shows a year to almost none whatsoever?
I have to say, the first lockdown in March last year was a shock. Everybody in the band has a family so we enjoyed spending time at home with the family, but after a while, we started to feel like something was missing.
The band toured South Africa in 2015 and thoroughly enjoyed their time here and definitely have plans to perform here again.
