Electronic and Pop

A long, long time ago an extraterrestrial music companionship landed on planet earth and decided to adopt the conformation of mankind and soon started creating music. Ten years later, after several crew changes and after sending their ship back home with the last separating extraterrestrial the two remaining members decided to stay on earth and become fully humanoid. The band discribes their music as ’Neue-Niederländische-Welle’, taken from the German ”Neue Deutsche Welle” genre. Their music follows a similar pattern as the NDW which originally derived from punk rock and new wave. The early band had a punk attitude and were highly influenced by rock and wave. The NDW has come to be acknowledged as a forerunner of electroclash, one of the styles the band was influenced by in their later days which also includes indietronic, digital hardcore and 90’s dancemusic. Since the departure of drummer Doctor Slacht-Zeuger and Frau Umlaut a new era with an even more electronic approach including sequencing and drum programming will be deployed. Over the years the band released material on vinyl, tape, cd and some digital releases. In 2010 their first song ‘Ruimtevaart Vooruit’ was released on a compilation LP and become a small underground hit, even outside the Netherlands. A remix version by Rude 66, the b-side of the bands first 7” release [EINDPLANEET] on Dutch based label Enfant Terrible did even better and is still spinned by many dj’s in Europe and beyond. In 2012 the band released their first full album CD on Wharf Records and three years later Enfant Terrible released their 2nd 7″ “Ende der Zukunft”. In 2016 they celebrate their 10th anniversary with the lost tapes released on their own label Ende der zukunft recordings. Half November (2017) their new record “Neue Zyklus” has arrived on a 12″ EP as their 4rd release on label Enfant Terrible and 1 april (2018) they released their second tape on their own ‘Ende der Zukunft’ Label: ‘Crazy Earthlings Collab Tape’. Out of this collaboration a new bandmember joined us: Metzger Pat.
