Dumb Today, Dumb Tomorrow and the Day After Too (The Story of the Abstürzenden Brieftauben, Ebook and MP3s)

Ebook in EPUB format, photo bonus as PDF, and the song 'Tanzen' as MP3

This book recounts nearly 35 years of the band history of Abstürzende Brieftauben and traces the evolution of (fun) punk in Germany. Founded in late 1983 as a parody of the Neue Deutsche Welle in the heart of Hanover’s vibrant punk scene, the self-proclaimed “No. 1 Fun Punk Duo” would rise to become the flagship of German fun punk by the early 1990s.
Neither the turbulent DIY production of their 1986 debut album Das kriegen wir schon hin, nor the unbelievable record deal with EMI in 1989 (including collaborations with BRAVO magazine and the newly born private TV channels), nor the Festival der Volxmusik tour through East Germany in 1990, or even their cameo appearance in Hape Kerkeling’s cult film Kein Pardon (1993) are left out.
In over 30 interviews, companions and contemporary witnesses—such as Olga from the Toy Dolls, Ted Gaier and Schorsch Kamerun from Die Goldenen Zitronen, and Rodrigo González from Die Ärzte—describe in their own words what really happened, how they experienced it back then, and how they see it today.
