German Art Students Tickets

German Art Students (GAS) are a nimble-witted new wave pop quartet formed in 1997 in Madison, Wisconsin. With a classic four-piece lineup featuring Andy Larson on bass, Annelies Howell on vocals and guitar, Kirk Wall on guitar and vocals, and Randy Ballwahn on drums, GAS has carved out a distinct space in the indie and post-punk-adjacent scene. Their sound blends punchy power-pop hooks with sharp, witty songwriting and upbeat tempos that stay clever without leaning into nostalgia.

Over the years, GAS has grown from a local favorite into a band recognized for their craft and consistency. Their discography spans from 2002 through 2025, including eight main releases, with the latest Diamonds & Queens released digitally on April 10, 2025, followed by vinyl release via Shortwave Records. The band remains active with fresh material and live appearances that celebrate their enduring sound.

Beyond the music, GAS is celebrated for contributing to Madison’s vibrant scene—Rolling Stone highlighted Madison’s music community with GAS in 2003, and the band earned Madison Area Music Award nominations for Best Rock Band in 2005. Their career reflects a steady commitment to accessible, well-crafted pop that rewards repeat listens.
