There is more than one artist with this name:
1) German Britpop band from Flensburg active from 1997 to 2001.
In 2000 the band was awarded with the Bambi
2) Czech pub-rock band. In Prague, in the 1970’s one of the main underground venues was the pub Klamovka where many musicians and artists would meet. The band Echt! was formed from some of these musicians in 1988 performing in the new Prague „pub-rock“ style, attracting successively larger audiences. After the Velvet Revolution in November 1989 the groups Echt! and „Pulnoc“ were invited to a prestige concert in Paris. This event was the vernisage of the first exhibition of Andy Warhol after his death in the Georges Pompidou Centre. Echt! and Pulnoc (former members of „The Plastic People of the Universe“) performed alongside with the original The Velvet Underground who played together for the first time in 20 years.
After the Velvet Revolution there came a very successful period for Echt! - the band took part in a few festivals in Germany, France and Austria. In 1990, under the patronage of the president Václav Havel, Echt! and Pulnoc recorded together a single called „Sanitka pro Rumunsko“ (Ambulance Car For Romania) where Echt! presented the song „Morning, Morning“. Later on Echt! recorded two songs on the SP „Kroky/Adam“ (Steps/Adam). In 1993 Echt! took part in a CD compilation called „Ujezd“ (named after the first official rock club in Prague) with the song “Sedm statecných” (The Magnificent Seven).

Ja, an sowas habe ich auch schon mal gedacht. Wäre ja ganz interessant. Wohl aber auch etwas unwahrscheindlich. Die haben sich ja ganz schön weiterentwickelt.. anderer Musikstil / Familiengründung etc.
