1h 18m 18sIn 2022, THE JEREMY DAYS achieved the unexpected with an album on the German charts, the first in 27 years. LOUIS C. OBERLÄNDER is a keyboardist with The Jeremy Days, one of the bands that MTV Europe, where I worked, pushed back in the late eighties.

Influenced by Brit-Pop, The Jeremy Days were never identifiable as to which country they came from. They reached number 11 on the German charts in 1988 with Brand New Toy, and their first album reached number 18. For the next few years they remained successful in Germany, but their last album of that period, Punk by Numbers, flopped and the band pretty much went their separate ways.
In 2022, without Christoph Kaiser, their lineup still includes Dirk Darmstaedter, Louis C. Oberlander, Jörn-Christof Heilbut, and Stefan Rager, were back in the German charts with their 6th album Beauty in Broken, 27 years after their last album, and 33 years after their first eponymous album. Now usually when anyone interviews The Jeremy Days, they want to talk to singer Dirk Darmstaeder, who is a really nice guy. But I’ve chosen to interview Louis C. Oberlander, because his story is a little different from the others, and I’ve followed him with interest on social media over the years. Today, Louis lives in Los Angeles, this is his story.
