The Modern Man

One of the hottest bands of the New German Wave (at a time when this was not yet a dirty word, but a term for a real turning point in German music culture) is finally returning to the stage.

Founded at the end of the seventies by singer Ziggy XY and guitarist Eckart Kurtz aka E.K.T., the band from Hanover quickly became one of the most important New German Wave formations with their experimental, German-language wave sounds. Radio DJ legend John Peel and the music magazine Sounds were among the early supporters of the band, who released two singles and mini-albums as well as their two longplayers "80 Tage Auf See" (1980) and "Unmodern" (1982) on the cult label No Fun Records until their break-up in 1984.
