Sophie Hunger’s first studio album "Monday’s Ghost” was released in the spring of 2009, climbing to number one in the Swiss album charts and achieveing gold status. But her supreme discipline remains on stage. What stands out the most during her multilingual concerts, besides her vocals, are her jazzy improvisations on the piano, the sounds from her electric guitar that she plays like a punk princess and her folkie harmonica solos. In 2009, Hunger and her 5-member band traveled all across Europe, where they played more than 100 concerts. Hunger’s performance at the European newcomer festival Eurosonic in January 2010 was described as “one of the best gigs of the entire festival” (Kinda Musik). She was invited on France 2 & 4 to the music spectacle “Taratata”, performed in Paris at the Cité de la Musique, Olympia and Peter Brooks’ Theater Bouffe du Nord. In Germany she also played a predominantly sold out tour accompanied by performances on ARTE, ARD and 3Sat.
