Virginia Jetzt! is a German indie pop band founded in the smalltown of Elsterwerda in Brandenburg in 1999 - the quartet is now based in Berlin.

The band has released three albums so far, their 2003 debut album "Wer hat Angst vor Virginia Jetzt?" - a play on words from the Edward Albee play "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" - followed by "Anfänger" (English: "Beginner") in 2004, and "Land Unter" (English: "Land Under") in 2007.

"Anfänger" spawned three single releases; "Ein ganzer Sommer" (German Charts # 28, 2004), "Das ganz normale Leben" (# 72, 2004) and "Wahre Liebe" (# 49, 2005).

January 2007 saw the band release their new album "Land Unter" (English: Land Under), containing the singles "Bitte bleib nicht, wenn du gehst"(German Charts # 54, 2006) (English: "Please don't stay, if you leave") and "Mehr als das" (# 75, 2007) (English: "More than that").

Virginia Jetzt! are known for their emotional yet upbeat guitar pop. They are generally considered part of the new wave of German pop music which has rediscovered German lyrics.
