Band, DE
German Band from Bielefeld. Several sessions with the Johannislust Orchester led to the foundation of Black Ass in 1978. In late 1978 their first and and only 7" self-release "Hot Lips Hot Hips / Teenage Desaster" was pressed in an edition of 1000. Due to the high fees of the GEMA it wasn`t played on German radio but had some radio-broadcastings in Spain. In 1979 serveral concerts were played in Barcelona. 1980 the band dissolved due to line-up changes.
