After the breakup of her previous band, the Munich-based L.B. Page in 1998, vocalist Valerie Trebeljahr formed the German-based experimental electro-pop group, Lali Puna. Although Lali Puna was originally intended to be a solo project, Trebeljahr recorded the debut LP, Snooze, with the help of Notwist guitarist Markus Acher and a four-track recorder. A few months later, drummer Christoph Brandner (of the Tied Tickled Trio) and keyboardist Florian Zimmer joined the outfit. Both musicians appeared on Lali Puna's single, "Safe Side," and the 1999 full-length release (Morr Music), Tridecorder. They released their first 7" on the Reihenhausmusik series from the high-profile Hausmusic label in 1998 and performed at the ~Jimmy Gimme More festival in Munchen, Germany, later that same year.
