Prussian Blue was an American white nationalist pop preteen sibling musical duo formed in early 2003 by April Gaede, mother of Lynx Vaughan Gaede and Lamb Lennon Gaede, fraternal twins born on June 30, 1992, in Bakersfield, California. The twins referred to the Holocaust as a myth and their group was described as racist and white supremacist in nature.
Lynx and Lamb were about 14 when they decided that they wanted to cease touring. In 2011, in an interview with The Daily, the twins renounced their previous politics. Lamb was quoted saying, “I’m not a white nationalist anymore. My sister and I are pretty liberal now.”
