I know, I have posted this record before but I don't fuckin' know when and where, apparently not in this theatre. Anyway, Rudolf's Rache are four punx from Rastede and were founded in the early eighties and after three tapes (listen to the first) the small punk label Starving Missile from Munich finally showed mercy and took the band under her wings and released their debut EP 'Unrasiert' in 1985. Two years later followed the second EP 'Pffrrrt!' under severe labor pains in our cosmos. A numerous fan base formed in East Frisia and the youth clubs were no longer sufficient for concerts, the whole region finally screamed for an album. To meet all the wishes, the four rented again the prestigious Masterplan Studio and recorded with some guest musicians Kings Of Balla Balla, also on Starving Missile. After that, Europe was open! Many gigs in stadiums were played, two 7inches and another album ('93) were released until the band decided in the mid 90's to spend the earned money and to lead a decent life as investment banker, real estate agent, cook and lawyer... until today. Solid punk rock with not so serious stories.
...but one original bandmember and at least a nephew of the singer and drummer continue as KINGS OF BALLA BALLA and have played a show on a rooftop in Wilhelmshaven during the pandemic in September 2020.
