They were not particularly obscure where i was at the time, apparently. Now I am wondering who I was thinking of who had a fake german name.
And also what I liked in particular by einsturzend neubauten because my cursory phone search brought up nothing particularly familiar. They kept making stuff since then, I guess!
They sound so familiar in a way, though. Like something from a previous life.
Hmnn, you might enjoy this from that band I worked for, East Ash, but was more friends with. They should have made it big, but by the time they created their sound on their own was a bit too much like U2. Seems like it was 2-3 lifetimes ago for me... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHyngR_LTWY
Oh hell yeah.
I would have totally booked these guys at my crappy dive! Just my style for back then. Different than the predominant sound on the left coast at the time.
So many great bands from back pre internet days are so forgotten now. Glad this got uploaded!
A few of the guys I worked with ended up making it biggish, but my favorites all imploded far too soon.
Was good timbes fer sure. I found a way to cram 40hrs hospital job into 3.5 days, so went out of state running sound on weekends. Was blessed that all "my" bands wrote their own songs and was a wide variety of alternative genres on our Faye Records label. Got to open for Firehose, Meatpuppets, Flaming Lips, Poi Dog, X, Jayhawks, Uncle Tupelo(many times), etc. Wish I could go back again because was busy trying to get it right that hard to remember it all.
