Nu Pagadi was a German pop band, formed in December 2004 on the fourth season of international reality television program Popstars. Originally a quartet, from May 2005 a trio, the group described their own musical style as " glam rock". In September 2005, only ten months after the band's formation, the members announced their official split due to musical differences.
In May 2005, the band changed from being a quartet to being a trio when Doreen Steinert left. [1]
The band's name refers to the Russian language, Soviet-era cartoon-series of the 1970s and 1980s called " Nu, pogodi!" which means "Well, Just You Wait!".
Kristina Dörfer (born 26 July 1984 in Wurzen) has also used the stage names KR!S and Kris.
Doreen Steinert (born 4 November 1986 in Potsdam) was a candidate in the third season of the German edition of Popstars, reaching the last 50. After leaving Nu Pagadi, Steinert released a solo single, Der Brief (den ich nie schrieb), which reached number 29 in the German charts, in August 2005. [2] In 2006, she released another single, Ich bin meine eigene Frau, which reached number 66 in Germany.
Patrick "Pat" Boinet (born 5 January 1976 in Berlin) qualified for the German edition of Popstars in a Second-Chance-Casting. He qualified for that round via the Sat.1 show Star Search. After the breakup of Nu Pagadi, he appeared as a member of the jury in the Viva TV show Shibuya.
Markus Grimm (born 5 May 1979 in Moers) worked as a music journalist for the magazine plugged and sang in the group Cabrit Sans Cor before he was chosen to join Nu Pagadi. He continued working for plugged while he was a member. He is also a songwriter. After writing songs for various singers including Claus Eisenmann, a former member of Söhne Mannheims, he has announced a book, Cosmic Dancer, to be published in spring 2009. [3]
