Slowly becoming more pleasant again and there are still two days until the weekend for me, these are good prospects. Today a small 7Inch package from Düsseldorf by Die Schwarzen Schafe and offered are the Reagan On Speed ('88), Julia & Wir Haben Noch Lange Nicht Genug! ('89) singles. I bought the singles at a concert by Barny, Incognito Records, in Hamburg/Marquee at the end of the eighties (good times those were). Since 1985 they make finest D.I.Y. Punkrock and the current line-up consists of Armin (vocals), Volker (guitars), Hendrik (bass) & Warze (drums). Many, many gigs have taken the band all over Europe. From the small AZ to the big festival stage, everything was there. It was never about the big career, but about the scene, and that's still the case today. The sheep sing about the beautiful, but also about the bitter sides of life and wrap these lyrics in mid-tempo punk rock with lots of melody and a sing-along factor (oh-ho-hooo everyone can!). The band positions itself and doesn't like gray areas, fascists, sexists and homophobic idiots. The gentlemen shine with eleven '77 style numbers with unconventional, very personal German & English lyrics, appealing.
