Silbermond (English: Silver Moon) is a German rock band from Bautzen, Saxony. The band consists of Stefanie Kloß, Andreas Nowak, and brothers Johannes and Thomas Stolle.
The band members originally met in 1998 when they participated in the music project Ten Sing. Two years later, they decided to form their own group, and as a result they began performing locally under the name JAST (composed by the initial letters of band members). In 2001, they changed their name to Silbermond, simultaneously concentrating on songs in German language for the first time.
In January 2004 the group got the chance to perform as opening act for singer Jeanette Biedermann. Afterwards they released their first single "Mach's dir selbst", followed-up by their debut album Verschwende deine Zeit, which became a major success and was eventually certified 7× gold and platinum in Germany and Austria. It spawned three further singles, including their first top five hit "Symphonie". At the end of 2004 the band went on tour, and in April 2005 they published their first concert DVD Verschwende deine Zeit - Live, which reached gold status. In 2005, Silbermond participated in the Berlin installment of Live 8, where they performed "Zeit für Optimisten" after Green Day's set and before Chris De Burgh in the concert lineup.
In April 2006, Silbermond released their second album Laut gedacht. The album debuted at number one on the German and Austrian album charts and spawned another top ten hit with its lead single "Unendlich". While the album's second single, "Meer sein" failed to enter the top 30, its third single "Das Beste", released in October 2006, became the group's first number one single. In July 2007, Silbemond performed at the German leg of Live Earth in Hamburg.
