Bear and the Milchbubis were a pop punk - band from Hannover .
history
Founded in 1979 by Annette Grotkasten, Rudolf Grimm , Andreas Kühne and Martin Fuchs in Hanover, Bärchen and the Milchbubis played their first concert in Offenburg in early 1980. From mid-1980 they appeared regularly as the opening act for Hans-A-Plast . In 1980 the EP Jung kaputt saves old people's homes was released , which was the most played single in the youth radio of the Bavarian radio that year. For Michael Bentele's film Deutsche Welle , which was later broadcast on ARD , Bärchen and the Milchbubis contributed the compositions motorcycle and deep sea fish . The track Muscles was published in 1982 on the Austrian label Schallter and after it became known on the radio station Ö3 , Ariola Germany also published the song on a K-Tel sampler in cooperation with K-Tel . The song had the German TV premiere in the ARD music program Bananas . In addition to four of their own publications, the band also produced various contributions to samplers. At the end of November 1982 work began on a second album, but it was never completed. After the last concerts in Austria in May 1983 and in Hanover in June 1983, the band broke up at the end of that year. In the four years or so that the band was active, it received mostly positive reviews in the media such as in Zitty , twen , Bravo , Musikexpress , Pop / Rocky , Sounds or Die Zeit . In 2012, the American Maximumrocknroll dedicated a report to the band.
