The True Story of Dreckrock?

   Dreckrock was a short-lived band in the late seventies. Ok, we were never a real band, just a bunch of losers with old half-broken instruments and no musical training.
We were based in a small village near Mannheim, Germany and the usual members of the gang were Mumu M.,Maddl Kehrer, yours truly plus some ever-changing additional staff. Among those poor substitutes were co-founding member Aze Zielbauer,Volki Schmidt, Zdenek Skarda, Ulf Wacker and for several occasions Peter Eisenhofer as the soundman.
The band existed for a mere 3 years, it never performed in public and all that has survived are a few shabby C-90 cassettes. Some of the songs' lyrics were in english, others in german. They were called: God is a Predator, Requiem, Familieneinkaufstag or Gonna Die and a lot of other stuff i don't really recall.
The band was unable to influence anybody and none of its members went on to find success in the musical field.
It's hard to define the style of DRECKROCK, maybe something between "Guggemusik", kraut and punk. As a matter of fact Mumu at one point stated that "Dreckrock" was an adequate translation of "punk" into german and i think she was probably right.
