biography

Tommi Stumpff, 2015

Moved to Paris and Brussels with his family as a child , Stumpff returned to his birthplace in Düsseldorf in his youth and became the head of the Düsseldorf punk band Der KFC in the late 1970s . From 1982 he continued as a soloist and released his debut album "Too late, you shit" , which - due to the bankruptcy of the record company Schallmauer - was only pressed in a number of about 3000 units.

In 1983 the single "Contergan Punk" was released on the label "Giftplatten", which was founded for this purpose. The single produced with Conny Plank consistently continued the Electropunk sound of the debut, but turned out to be significantly harder and, due to its aggressiveness, had typical EBM structures. The hardness of "Contergan Punk" could not be reached again until the end of the 1980s. Above all, the album "Ultra" , released in 1989, is still considered an outstanding work today.

He ended his musician career in 1993 and now works in the IT industry.

In 2007 Tommi Stumpff started rehearsing again. On February 1, 2008, a KFC concert took place in Düsseldorf as part of a birthday party by Tommi Stumpff.

In 2015 he founded the band Stumpff , which consists of himself and the musicians Rüdiger Schuster and Vanvalia. Since then, Stumpff has performed live several times, including at the Leipzig Wave-Gotik-Treffen , and in 2016 released the EP Alles Idioten .

Artistic reception

The writer Silvia Szymanski lets Stumpff appear under the name "Tim" in her first novel Chemischereinigung (1998).
