This was an era of particular artistic upheaval in Germany; emphasis was placed on expression rather than technical perfection, artistic impact rather than skill. Bands consciously abandoned the English-speaking mainstream with German band names and lyrics. \"Although we had a small underground scene, it was very vibrant,\" explains Gudrun Gut of Malaria! \"Bands like Die Haut, our first band Mania D., Malaria!... we organised gigs ourselves, hung around together in a handful of clubs like Risiko or Dschungel and went to gigs at SO36. West Germany had other regional scenes too: Düsseldorf and Köln around Der Plan and the Ata Tak label and there was the Hamburg side with Abwärts. Germany didn't have a real music industry like the US or UK back then.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"503","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50570726900008,"sku":"73000331961","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/va-jd-twitch-kreaturen-der-nacht-lp-73000331961","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
