History of the band
The name of the pop group, "Uwu Lena" is a combination of Uwe Seeler, Vuvuzela and Lena.[2] The band consisted of students from Münster. Besides Christian Landgraf, the writer of Schland o Schland, the band comprised Timo Buehring, Nikolai Gaschütz, Sören Glück, Jötten John, Robert Krotoszynski, Matthias Landgraf and Moritz Schefers.[3][4][5] Before the publication of "Schland o Schland" the band had also sung together, but not in the intention to commercialize their songs.[6] The publication of the music, just before the World Cup 2010 was, due to Johannes Jötten, coincidental, because the song was only considered to be destined for their friends and acquaintances.[5] Following the publication of Schland o Schland by Universal Music the band appeared on several events and television programs, including the ZDF Fernsehgarten on June 20, 2010.[7][8]
