Neo-Nazi girl band reinvent themselves as liberal 'healers' with medicinal marijuana cards



They rose to fame as the faces of Neo-Nazi pop band Prussian Blue.

Now, twin sisters Lamb and Lynx Gaede say they have reformed their extremist ways, blaming their hateful messages of white supremacy on youthful naivete.



The 19-year-olds, who both have medical marijuana cards, consider themselves 'healers' and say they are 'pretty liberal now'.

Reformed: Lamb and Lynx Gaede, who founded Neo-Nazi singing group Prussian Blue in 2003, say they now 'love diversity'

Disturbing: The girls, wearing smiling Hitler-inspired T-shirts, became 'the children of hate' with songs including Aryan Man Awake and Hate for Hate: Lamb Near the Lane

Lamb and Lynx formed the group in 2003, at the age of 11, at the suggestion of White Nationalist leader William Pierce.

By 2006, they had recorded a roster of songs that were infuriating the nation, with titles including Aryan Man Awake and Hate for Hate: Lamb Near the Lane, co-written by David Lane - the late member of terrorist group The Order and Lamb's then pen-pal.

Lane was ten serving 190 years in prison for his involvement in the murder of Jewish talk show host Alan Berg in 1984.

Soon after the song's release, the girls were labelled by the media 'the new faces of hate', fuelling the firestorm with their angelic faces and smiley-faced Hitler T-shirts.



The sisters now say, however, they simply didn't know better.

New outlook: The twins now channel their creative energy into painting and consider themselves 'healers'. Both have medical marijuana cards

In an exclusive interview with The Daily, Lynx said: 'My sister and I were home-schooled. We were these country bumpkins. We spent most of our days up on the hill playing with our goats.'

Lamb echoed: 'I was just spouting a lot of knowledge that I had no idea what I was saying.

The twins credited their mother, April Gaede, with influencing their skewed perspective - as a member of racist fringe groups like the National Alliance and the National Vanguar - and said while they didn't regret being in the group, they wished they had been pushed to do something more mainstream.



Their mother, however, still defends encouraging the extremist side project.

'I thought it would just be a little fun thing to do,' she said, adding, 'I didn’t expect it to get as big as it did. If the girls feel regretful about it, I guess I would have to as well.'

Lamb and Lynx said enrolling in public school and moving to northwest Montana has helped them become more open-minded.

'I’m stoked that we have so many different cultures,' Lynx said. 'I think it’s amazing and it makes me proud of humanity every day that we have so many different places and people.'

The teenager has also adopted a more open-minded view with the help of medical marijuana.

Lynx was diagnosed with cancer during her freshman year of high school, when doctors removed a tumour from her shoulder; she was prescribed OxyContin and morphine to deal with the pain. She also suffers from a rare condition called cyclic vomiting syndrome.

About a year ago she began smoking to ease withdrawal symptoms and nausea.

'I have to say, marijuana saved my life,' she said. 'I would probably be dead if I didn’t have it.'

Lamb, who suffers from 'scoliosis and chronic back pain, lack of appetite and emotional stress', soon acquired a medical marijuana card of her own.

They said the drug has reignited their creativity, which they now channel in other ways.



Both sisters paint. Lynx, who lives at home with her mother, her stepfather and her half-sister, Dresden, also restores furniture. Lamb works as a hotel chambermaid not far away.

They said their mother still has dreams of forming an 'intentional' white community in Montana, called Pioneer Little Europe.



But they are reluctant to follow her lead. 'I’m not a white nationalist anymore,' Lamb said. 'My sister and I are pretty liberal now.'

The sisters closed the door with Prussian Blue following the band's 2006 European tour, and have spent the last few years 'lying low and trying to live a normal life,' Lamb said.



They do worry about a backlash from their former fans.

'There are dangerous people in White Nationalism that don’t give a f***, and they would do awful things to people who they think betrayed the movement,' Lamb said, adding, 'We’re stepping on eggshells.'

The sisters, who famously denied the Holocaust, are not completely reformed, however.



Asked whether the Holocaust happened, Lynx replied, 'I think certain things happened. I think a lot of the stories got misconstrued. I mean, yeah, Hitler wasn't the best, but Stalin wasn't, Churchill wasn't. I disagree with everybody at that time.'

Lamb added: 'I just think everyone needs to frickin' get over it. That's what I think.'

They hope to enrol in college, and plan to dedicate their time making medical marijuana legal in all 50 states.



Five years on from quitting the band, the twins said they are simply ready to move on.
