Bigod 20 is a German EBM and techno formation that was founded in the late 1980s by Andreas Tomalla (alias Talla 2XLC ) and Markus Nikolai (alias Jallokin ) in Frankfurt am Main . At that time, Talla was also involved in other musical projects such as Robotiko Rejekto , Tribantura and Microchip League .
Band history
In 1988 Bigod 20 released the single Body To Body on Talla's newly founded Music Research label , which later became the Zoth Ommog Records label .
In 1990 the band signed with Sire Records and released the single The Bog . Not only because the vocals were sung by Jean-Luc De Meyer , the head of the Belgian EBM band Front 242 , but because of the overall sound of this piece, it is still often mistaken for a title by Front 242.
In 1991 Thomas Franzmann (aka Zip Campisi ) became a new member of the band. In the same year, the band's first album was released under the name Steel Works! . The released single On The Run is based heavily on Madonna's title Like A Prayer . Shortly thereafter, another release followed under the title It's Up To You .
In 1994 Bigod 20 released their second album, titled Supercute .
In 2004 the maxi-single Acid To Body was released on the label Blanco Y Negro Records .
