concept

The band consisted of four music critics (Gülden, Ruff, Geschwister Diederichsen), a painter (Oehlen) and a musician (Lunch). Regardless of the audience, interpretations of The Flying Burrito Brothers , The Velvet Underground and also their own pieces were immortalized on vinyl and declared a cult due to their lovable inaudibility. With their work, the band wanted to “alienate pop history from 1955 to the present day”.
