TODAY! In November 2013 after a 30 years' pause the composers of Die Alten, Schilli and Schneller, decided to reactivate the band. The songs "Die Zeit" and "Nachbarn", originally released in 1984, were newly arranged and recorded. New releases: In 2018 the CDR "Motel" and in 2022 the cassette tape "Naturkundemuseum"! Die Alten on Bandcamp and on Video Die Zeit - Nachbarn YESTERDAY! Die Alten was a German New Wave Band, named after the "The Old Ones", cosmic gods in the works of the horror author H. P. Lovecraft. Die Alten gigged the South German scene between 1982 and 1984 and released 3 demo tapes. The permanent members Barbara (voice, keyboards), Schilli (bass) and Schneller (Guitar) made their first musical experiences with the "Familie Hesselbach" predecessor „ABC“, the London psychobilly band „The Demonic Wardrobes” and Reutlingen's first punkband „Vermin“, later „Name“. The first demo tape „Die Alten + UEQ“ was recorded in 1982 together with drummer Knacki. On the b-side were 2 songs by Schilli and Schneller, presenting under the pseudonym „UEQ“ a more electronic sound, which was typical for the second demo „Mitternacht“. On "Mitternacht" Karin joined the band on trumpet, and a rhythm machine took over the drumming job. Most of the Alten gigs were played with this line-up. On the last demo „Die Alten 3: Noch mehr Arbeit“ 1984 drummer Roman replaced Karin. After a few more gigs Die Alten split up and Schilli and Schneller founded the hardcore punk band „Genossen“. All three demos are now available on CD plus the bonus track "Jeden Morgen, jeden Tag", a contribution to a tape compilation of the Tuebingen based "Infam" label. For CD orders contact here! |
