Bertz Rache - Quartettsingle Sesamstrasse kotzt

Und weil das alle sooo lustich fanden, gibt es noch Nachschlag:
Ein weiteres Tape, was uns diesmal daran erinnert, daß sich Berlin für Olympia 2000 beworben hatte, ein Grund warum selbst Veganer auf einmal mit erschossenen gelben Bären durch die Stadt liefen. Als Sahnehäubchen noch eine Spitzen-Version von Major Tom.
Was die Bertz heute so treiben?
Ein Gitarrist treibt sich in der Berliner Beat -Szene rum und der Bassist und Sänger ist (oder inzwischen schon wieder war?) bei Papa zu Hause.

Bertz Rache live 1992

So. Neues Jahr, neues Konzept... gab es jeh eins? Ursprünglich sollte das ein Blog über die Tape-Kultur im ehemaligen Ostblock sein. Da aber mittlerweile all meine Tauschpartner aus den Bruderländern selbst zu Bloggern geworden sind, werd ich jetzt auch Tapes reinstellen, die nach der Wende entstanden sind. Ferner erweitere ich mein Territorium um die alten Bundesländer.
Damit hoffe ich, Musik vorzustellen bzw. wieder auszubuddeln, die für Euch verehrtes Publikum neu oder in Vergessenheit geraten ist. Verneig. Vorhang auf...
Oh. Und der deutschen Sprache bin ich Tatsache besser mächtig, als der englischen, also werd ich euch fortan nicht weiter quälen...

Dieses Tape hier als Dank für die Weihnachtsgeschenke von nebenan.
Bertz Rache waren nach meiner Erinnerung vor allem Helden in Abschiedskonzerte geben. Nahezu jedes Wochenende haben sie irgendwo in Berlin gespielt und einmal im Monat gab es das "allerletzte" Konzert. Haha! Daher ist die Besucherzahl von 32 zahlenden Zuschauern durchaus realistisch. Auch wenn sie musikalisch nicht schlecht und natürlich ihren eigenen Witz hatte, konnte man sie nicht ernst nehmen. Bertz Rache bringen eine Cd raus?Selten so gelacht! Anfangs gab es ein Publikumschor, der ständig rief:"Ihr seid SCHEISSE", was die Band zunächst freudig begrüßte, in späteren Jahren jedoch zickig werden ließ...
Naja. So ungefähr nach dem 2000. Abschiedskonzert haben sie dann doch zwei (oder mehr?) Singles und eine Cd rausgebracht.

Bertz Rache (Bertz Revenge) was a Fun-Punk-Band from Berlin in the 90s.

Die Chaoten/Spermacombo-Split-Tape

And another Spermacombo-Release... The Split-Tape with Die Chaoten.
Unfortunately just with a very bad Coverscan. So if someone got a better Coverscan: please send it to me.

Weihnachtskonzert 1989

Here another Tape with Spermacombo, Ulrike am Nagel, Sapienti Sat and Airtramp: a Christmas-Concert from 1989. Probably the last release of Jenaer Hinterhof Production with this typical Photoprint-Cover.

Spermacombo "Ohne Torte"

Spermacombo was from Jena. This is their Debut-Tape "Ohne Torte" from 1988, also known as "Die Combisten"-Tape because of the silk-screen Cover. The PissPogoBlog posted this Tape too, but i don't like their quality... choose yourself! My recordings got a bit more bass and you get a scan of the original cover.
You must know: in eastgermany it was impossible and forbidden to simple copy a sheet of paper. If you want to duplicate lyrics you has to handwriting or typewritten it. Tapecover were rarely make as a silk-screen, sometimes there were used original photographs (Jenaer Hinterhof Productions and TrashTapeRecords use this), but most of the tapes got no cover. So when you got a simple copyshop-copy for a "original eastgerman tape" at home, you know it is a release after the change in 1989.

we are the flowers in the red zone Vol.1

Here a Compilation-Tape from Poland-perfect for my blog!

Andrea's Auslauf, Kein Talent+Namenlos and Wartburgs für Walter from Eastgermany

Trybuna Brudu,Dezerter and A.P.S.F. from Poland

Trottel and Biztonsagi Tanacs from Hungary

Trottel -Archiv 1986-88

Trottel started in 1985.
This is a compilation of their early recordings and additional to the post of TERMINAL ESCAPE.
Quotation from the Cover:

"When in 1988 trottel started appearing on records somehow this recording seemed to be shit, we were far to be proud of them..
In the meanwhile a new generation grew up which definitely wanted to hear our old stuff and asked for them but we felt that we should not show them... The thing which regularly happens to bands making records... this was bullshit.After all we did those stuff with passion and honesty and love so why should we hide them even if they are not too good.
So here is this tape sounds like shit but this was Trottel at that time: dedicated to all younger bands, do not search for sponsors, recordlabels, just do it yourselfs!"

The singer Ildi left the band in the 90s and they never replaced her. People developed in their life and the Band Trottel developed together with their bandmembers. Now they play a mix between Worldmusic and Jazz:Trottel Stereodream Experience
But they are still "independent" and have their own Label Trottel Records .

H.N.F."Valka" 1986

Dušan Palko replaced him and recorded the next demotape "Žiadne pravidlá".
Then the band had huge changes and with Janča Rebro on guitar the band changes its style of playing significantly. The music became more noisy,but was interesting and inventive. They played few concerts and one of it was rekleased as a demotape:"Krvavý odchod".

Review 1988/89

The history of Review begins in 1985, with the founding members Vasil Giurov,Dimityr Voev and Kiril Manchev.They created the band "Cale". At the first official appearance of the band on the First Sofia Rock Fest in ' 87 they have been removed from the stage after the third song , because of the lyrics of their songs. In '88 "Cale" falls apart,to revive again in two of the greatest bands in Bulgaria for this period - Review and New Generation. The new members of the band Review were Vasil Giurov,Kiril Manchev, Boicho Karaboichev and Milena Slavova.The band's appearance on the radio and on concerts was restricted and they weren't allowed to make records. In 1989 Review dissolve and Milena starts her Solo-Career but the political change make it possible to release a Split-LP of Review together with Milenas Solo-Stuff. Milenas voice is a bit comparable with Nina Hagen and she became the acknowledged queen of Bulgarian Rock. In 2001 Review was reunited, but since 2003 Andronia Popova is the new singer. Here you find Review on MySpace.

Die Zucht - Das letzte Konzert 1985-

In 1982 three classmates of "Chaos" from Wutanfall founded the Band TASS. No-one could play an instrument, so everyone played this, what he can organized: Andre Friedrich got a acustic guitar at home, Jan Hohmann builded himself a bass by using a A5-picture of an bass as guideline and Thomas Stephan played a collection of garbage cans, dustpans and grandpas marchdrum. First they played raw versions of Rock'nRoll-Songs like "Blue suede shoes", but soon their music became more and more New Wave because of some personal changes. Tilo Hartig and after his moving to UK Christoph Heinemann played the bass, Möbius (later known as "Makarios"), a fan of Joy Division and Bauhaus starts to sing german intellectual lyrics and the name was changed into "Die Zucht"(strict Discipline). The punkband turns to a postpunk-band and the postpunk-band later turns to a band with official permission to play but only after anew renaming to a more pleasant name: DIE ART .
This is their last concert under the name of "Die Zucht"
(I think there were somewhere the first Demo-Tape of Die Art, but i do not find again.
Maybe because you can buy this tape in a remixed version it must be deleted.
15 of 17 songs from my tape was released in a 500 limited vinyl-edition on Crutch-Records, but i do not find this label...
...so if someone of Die Art got Problems with this post, they must leave a comment and i will remove it)

Spinki Menta - Kutchi i notchi-tape 1987

Spinki Menta was founded in 1986 by Dimitri Kuzmin(voc,guitar), Ronik Vachidov(bass) and Andrej Budanov (drums) and they become a part of novosibirian Punk-Scene around Grazhdanskaya Oborona(Civil Defence). Their Tapes was recorded in the Studio of GO „GrOb“(casket) but instead of Ronik and Andrej Egor Letov and Kuzya Uo from GO play with Dimitri Kuzmin. Here you find their first Tape "Erection of Lieutenant Kireyeva“ from 1987, my Tape is the second from 1987 and there was one or two other tapes before Dimitri Kuzmin changed the band into „Chernui Lukich“. This band still exist.

Brigadnui Podryad 1986

The band was a '77-Punkband formed in 1986 in Leningrad by three classmates. The original line up was Alexander Luk'yanov on guitar, Dmitriy Babich on bass, Igor Saikin on drums and Kolya Michailov on vocals. This songs was recorded in a home studio and released by DIY-distribution. Gigging in Soviet Union was really dangerous. Rock and especially punk musicians were regularly having problems with government and police. So the performing activity of BP at this period wasn't rich.But they still play!
Here are:
- the complete bandhistory on MySpace ;
- their website
and google find their "Magneto-Album" from 1989

Rosengarten -Blut und Liebe-Tape

Rosengarten(Rosegarden) is a Dark-Wave-Band from Salzwedel. The name of the band is borrow from the title „Rosegarden Funeral of Sores“ of John Cale, better known is the 1980 Version of Bauhaus. Other influences are Tuxedomoon or Swans. The Band starts in 1985 with the couple Marion(bg) and Helge Semlow(keyb,perc,voc) and the“Treble Torsten“: T.Thönert(dr), T.“Peggy“ Füchsel(g) and T. Fütterer(voc,keyb). The band don't wanna be a Rockband, the songwriting was a collective work and Helge Semlow called work on stage „onanism“. Because of this modesty they became a cultband and as a result of this inconsistency with the bandphilosophy they break up in 1989. Here is their first Tape from 1987 and it was released in three versions. This is the 90min-Tape with some Bonus-Tracks.

Frühlingsfest ( A ) LÖS ( A ) 1988

In Eastgermany some protestant priests keeping their doors open for Punks and other politicized youth groups.Thereby Erlöser(AlösA)-Kirche, Elisabeth-Kirche,Galiläa-Kirche, Zions-Kirche in Berlin or Christuskirche in Halle became a popular hangout for Punks.In connection with similar meeting places in other eastgerman towns developed a network with international charisma. So it was possible to organize international Punkfestivals on church terrain.Here is a tape of one of this Festivals- the Springtime-Festival of Erlöserkirche in 1988 featuring Aurora from Hungary, OPM, Sanov1 and Do Rady from Czechoslovakia, Total im Arsch and Horschix Änkel from West-Berlin, Reaktion,Spermacombo, Wartburgs für Walter, Reasors Exzess and Fanatische Frisöre from Eastgermany.

Control -The Punk Songs -

Control released their first Demo in 1988, but this distributed just among their friends. In 1989 balkanton released a Split-LP with Control and Nova Generaziya and their first Album "Bumm" in 1990 was the beginning of their stardom, but have only appeared on Tape. This is my personal Compilation of their Punksongs, taken from this first Demo, some songs from "Bumm" and some Live-Tracks from 1990. With "Bumm" they started to be a Rockband, that's the reason for my selection.
If you wanna buy some of this old stuff, contact "Mr Bulgarian Punk" again
www.myspace.com/aondistro
... i recommend you the "Control The Punk Years"-Tape (it includes the songs off their Split-release and the 1988-Tape) and "Ne umirachme ot schaste 1988-90/Anthology of Bulgarian underground Vol.1" CD, where my live-tracks are from.

FPB -Jedem v punku jako v tanku-Tape

FPB means Four Price Band. It was a intellectual punkband from Teplice and formed in 1981.
I think this recordings are a compilation of recordings between 1984 and 1987.
Here is a good Wikipedia-Article about the band: FPB - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and here their myspace www.myspace.com/ctvrtacenovaskupina
In 2008 they released a 3xCD on www.myspace.com/malarierecords , wich included this tape and i think it would be in a better quality, because my tape was just a one-channel-mono-recording, i edited it a bit that you can listen it on both channels.

GefahrenZONE - Die Erste

While we're at Punk without guitar...
GefahrenZONE means DangerZONE and was a Band from Saalfeld founded in 1985 and split in 1990.
They don't wanna be like a normal Rockband, so instead of a guitar they use a saxophone.
Even though they were played on the eastgerman Radio (Parocktikum was a Radioshow about eastgerman and international independent music), they had no official permission to play concerts.
This is their first tape from 1987.
