Die Toten Hosen [1999] Crash Landing torrent

"We are good taste's funeral directors" -- Die Toten Hosen, The Annual Rheinland
Lent Carnival Parade, '96

Die Toten Hosen are one of Germany's oldest, most prolific, hardest working,
hardest partying and best loved punk rock bands. Comming out of Dusseldorf, the
band originally formed in 1982, comprised of 6 members: Trini Trimpop (Drums),
Andi (bass), Kuddel (guitar), Breiti (guitar), Walter (guitar), and Campino
(Vocals). They had all been in bands before, and they had studied such rock
classics as Gary Glitter, Slade, Chelsea, and Motorhead, as well as making some
trips to London. They're first single was "Wir Sind Bereit" ("We're ready") and
"Reisefeber" (Travel Bug), recorded in one afternoon at "Rudas Studio" in
Dusseldorf. After its release they made their first tour, planning to play small
clubs for a low cover charge-- this amounted to all sorts of choas and wild
parties as the band traveled around the country meeting people, and as they
wrestled with not having a place to sleep, not always being paid, etc. The press
called them "The successful surviors, more or less of the first German punk
movement".

Sounds like they had a good time.
