She has toured in 40 countries with her previous releases – several of which were recorded with Hans Joachim Irmler of Krautrock pioneers Faust.

Mary Ocher has become an icon of Berlin underground music while cultivating a loyal following across the world. She performs solo, as well as with her two drummers, Your Government.

Throughout her career, Ocher has collaborated with a diverse array of artists including post-rock giants Mogwai, electronic moguls Red Axes, psych/rocknroll guru King Khan, avant-garde legends Die Tödliche Doris, Julia Kent and Felix Kubin among many more, showcasing her versatility and passionate commitment to the preservation of underground music.
