Prussian Blue is a controversial White Supremacist folk teen duo formed in early 2003 by Lynx and Lamb Gaede (born June 30, 1992), twin girls brought up in the United States. Lynx plays violin, Lamb plays guitar, and both of the girls sing. They recorded and released a debut CD at the end of 2004 called Fragment of the Future (Resistance Records).
In 1999, they appeared in a Louis Theroux BBC documentary on white supremacy in the United States, and on October 20, 2005 were featured in a critical segment on ABC's Primetime. Lynx and Lamb are currently in the studio recording a follow-up CD (untitled as of yet) that is expected to be released in late 2005. Prussian Blue also toured the US in 2005.
The group has strong ties to the National Vanguard organization, a white supremacy splinter group formed by disaffected former members of the National Alliance.
According to an article from ABC News, the girls are homeschooled by their mother, April, an activist and writer for the racist National Vanguard. The article further discusses the twins' maternal grandfather, who wears a swastika belt buckle, uses the Nazi symbol on his truck and even registered it as a cattle brand. Though the family was originally located in Bakersfield, California the twins' mother has reportedly sold their home because she fears that non-whites there may be a threat to her children.
During their ABC interview, the twins said they believe Adolf Hitler was a good man with great ideas, such as eugenic standards and incentives to improve the genetic quality of the German people, such as marriage loans to help qualified German families begin upon a firm financial basis.
They describe their ancestry as English, Scottish and Prussian (German). The band was named after the color Prussian blue.
Lyrics and Influences
Prussian Blue's lyrics contain phrases and images often associated with white power music and Aryan/Neo-Nazi doctrine, including Valhalla and Vinland. Many of their songs are also dedicated to famous Nazis and neo-Nazi activists such as Rudolf Hess and Robert Jay Mathews, as in the song "Sacrifice":
- Rudolf Hess, man of Peace
- He wouldn't give up and he wouldn't cease
- Remember him and give a pause
- Robert Matthews knew the Truth
- He knew what he had to do
- He set an example with Courage so bold
- We'll never let that fire grow cold
The debut single for their second album The Stranger is adapted from a poem by Rudyard Kipling who allegedly supported the concept of white supremacy in many of his writings, most notably in The White Man's Burden.
