Unheilig with Special Guest Diary of Dreams and Support Zeromancer

For now eleven years, there is the German band UNHEILIG that stylistically hardly put into any drawer because it moves from Electro Pop over Neue Deutsche Härte to quiet ballads. Its roots, however, lie somehow in “Synth Rock”. Der Graf (voice, compositions & programming), Henning Verlage (programming, keyboards) and Christoph "Licky" Termühlen (guitar) published their new single ‘Geboren um zu Leben’ in January 2010 which is their up to now most successful one with place 3 in the German charts. In February, the album with the title ‘Große Freiheit’ will follow.

If you think the 80s were devoid of raw, sexy and dangerous rock 'n' roll, you obviously missed out on Sir William Broad, a.k.a. Billy Idol. Billy got a minor break with 70s-punks Generation X, but it was his second solo-LP "Rebel Yell" (1983) that made him a million-selling star.

DAF, No More

DAF - ‘Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft’ - is a band that can be counted amongst the pioneers and influences for such genres as Electro Punk, Techno or the so called ‘Neue Deutsche Härte’. The unpolished, raw sound they’ve developed should as well be defining for the emerging EBM genre. The album ‘Die Kleinen und die Bösen’ from 1980 can be named as prime example for this and was and is a milestone for the EBM movement, released by Daniel Miller’s Mute label. Shrank to the duo Robert Görl / Gabi Delgado-López, the band continued working on new material which found its way on the two albums ‘Alles ist gut’ (1981) and ‘Für Immer’ (1982) with which they finally made their breakthrough.
