Goldfisch
After a string of appearances throughout 2005, including opening for Herbert Grönemeyer at the LTU Stadium in Düsseldorf in January, a multi-city tour with Virginia Jetzt in March and an appearance at the Schupfart Festival in Zürich in late September, Kira began recording her second album, Goldfisch, which was released on August 11, 2006. Whereas the themes of Inauswendig hover around introversion, the ego and the comparison of one’s reality to that of other people, the themes of Goldfisch hover around extroversion. “For me,” she said in a press release, “these two albums are like two completely different worlds that have almost nothing at all to do with each other. They’re each based on a totally different attitude toward life.”
After the release of Goldfisch, Kira made another string of appearances, including a multi-city tour with the German band Keimzeit in December 2006, her own “Fast wie Sommer” tour in the spring of 2007 (named for one of the songs on Goldfisch) and opening for Herbert Grönemeyer on four dates of his own tour in May and June.
That summer she appeared twice on the German TV channel GIGA-TV, a specialty channel devoted to digital lifestyles, once on their four-day special entitled Giga Island (which used her song "Fast wie Sommer" as its theme) and again as part of their coverage of the Internationale Funkausstellung (IFA), an annual consumer electronics show in Berlin.
