Brausepöter + Die Öffnung

"Nobody can stop us" Live

Brausepöter (Martin Lück - vocals, guitar, synth / Bernd Hanhardt- bass/ Kemper- drums, still exist in this line-up today!) were founded in 1978 in East Westphalia and were originally called Nordwestdeutsches Eiterlager, NWE for short. Brilliant name! But Brausepöter isn't bad either. They were one of the first German punk bands. Punk in the true sense of the word, or as the US-American fanzine Maximum RocknRoll put it: "It's indie punk in the purest John Peel sense" or as Martin Lück put it: "We always wanted to take all the rock out of our music". Brausepöter released their last regular album "Nerven geschädigt" in 2019. The punk magazine FAZ titled their review "The new Brausepöter record shows what punk means today". For them, Brausepöter is "a German band that was unfortunately too good to become as famous as Trio or Die Toten Hosen. Spiegel Online also liked "Nerven geschädigt": "In its radical disinterest in everything that's happening and promising success, Brausepöter's music seems even more consistent today than it did back then."

In December, Tapete Records will release the lost 1979 album "KEINER KANN UNS AB". Originally the record, recorded with a cassette recorder in 79, was supposed to be released by ZickZack, but nothing came of it. Did the tape get lost in the post? Were the recordings too good? Or too radical even for ZickZack? We don't know.

If "Keiner kann uns ab" had actually been released back then, who knows, perhaps today the album would be mentioned in the same breath as "Monarchie und Alltag", "Amok Koma" or Slime's debut. But maybe not, because the Brausepöter sound is too unique, too ramshackle, too DIY, closer to the TVPs, closer to The Fall or closer to the early Mekons than to all the punk rock bands. Brausepöter are simply "indie punk in the purest John Peel sense". On the occasion of the release of "Keiner kann uns ab" Brausepöter will play some concerts. New songs from the "Nerven geschädigt" album but also old hits from "Keiner kann uns ab": "Bundeswehr", "Immer der gleiche Scheiss" and of course "Keiner kann uns ab".

Support: Die Öffnung

"Die Öffnung" is the minimal e-punk band from Dirty Dortmund. Luis' catchy beats are paired with sassy vocals and performance art interludes by Ben. The result is the ultimate music to get really stupid again:

"We want anarchy for all and money from all - and of course free love and world peace."
