ROSI LEBT - Wahnsinn 7'' 1981

Another rare gem is this 7inch by this band from Graz, released on Ursprung Tonträger. A little Info from Rockarchiv Steiermark: Rosi Lebt were founded by Eva Ursprung and Andreas Wildbein, the basic idea from the beginning was emancipatory: Exemption from the musical as well as social standards that break conventional structures in each area. Were therefore sought musicians, whose interest it was to define themselves and their approach to music again and again. Found 2 experimental women from the feminist scene: Nina (Caro) Wurz and Zorah Mari Bauer, as well as the guitarist Doris Koller. In the initial phase, the group of traditional jazz or rock bands of their time differed mainly by the way they work: Each played every instrument, wrote lyrics and press releases. The music was mostly collectively and each musician was equivalent, with musical standards was played until it broke. Each play was allowed. A wide range of musical influences resulted in numerous, ever new, very different live sets: the music oscillated between punk, new wave, free jazz, rock and influences from classical music. The band was never predictable - by lyrical concerts in the spa pavilion to extreme noise orgies, anything was possible. The band broke up in 1989. Musically we have two NewWave/SynthPop goodies, the A-side is a catchy tune, I might almost say Austrian new wave sound, the flip is not as good as the title track but that doesn't matter. Antesten!!!
