Stage 4: 1970sâ1980s (Punk and Post Punk Scene)
The 1970s and 1980s was a high time for its urban sociability, as âthe punk and post-punk took off in Berlinâ, highlights Ellinghaus from City Slang records (Baker, 2013d). As Froese notes, âIggy Pop brought DIY punk music into Berlin and that was 1976â. Pop also encouraged local post-punk bands such as âEinstürzende Neubauten, Rammstein, and the Australian band, The Birthday Party to follow suitâ, Froese adds. (Baker, 2014c) Steinhof from 4 Artists expands on his point, âThe punks were living in West Berlinâs tenement squats in Kreuzberg, Schonberg and Neukollnâ (Baker, 2013a), while music researcher and urban activist, Ingo Bader notes that âThe post-punk scene was a very small subculture.â (Baker, 2013i). During the 1980s âthere were a few well-known West Berlin bandsâ, says Franke from the Berlin-based Capital Media and Music Company (Baker, 2013l). Bader contends that Einstürzende Neubauten were one of them, âThe band was important, but not just musically or visually, but on the urban levelâ (Baker, 2013i). Like Tangerine Dream during the 1960s, the divided city of Berlin and its isolation from the western world during the 1980s encouraged Einstürzende Neubauten to push experimental music. Melbourne-musician Wednesday who played with Einstürzende Neubauten from the early 1990s to early 2000s highlighted that âEinstürzende means collapsing, tearing down and still pushing the envelope, while Neubauten were the commission flats in Berlin that were built to house displaced person after the Second World Warâ. As Wednesday elaborates, âEinstürzende Neubautenâs (hence Collapsing Buildingâs) music sounds consisted of heavy power supply creative with sound-making and sampling.â (Baker, 2014a). Besides Wednesday, âthe band consists of Blixia Bargeld (lead singer, guitar and keyboards); Andrew Unruh (percussionist ), Alexander Hacke (bass , vocals) and Rudolf Moser (custom-built instruments, vocals and percussion)â. Wednesday continued, âMusically, I put Einstürzende Neubauten over and above Bowie, Pop or Cave (Baker, 2014a).â However, as Ellinghaus from City Slang Records adds, âA lot of German musicians have an inferiority complex, but yes, Einstürzende Neubauten were an institution in West Berlinâ (Baker, 2013d).
