V/A - Happy On Your Side 1992

Last for today and I leave you with this nice garage/low-fi punk compilation by the German label Orgasm Records. The home of Der Durstige Mann and other rowdys. On it a very good cross section of rare demos, outtakes and remixes. I remember that this album was requested by someone, but cannot remember his name. Well anyway, the desire is hereby fulfilled. Musically is everything top here, real punkrock would I say how anyone can play it. Heavily distorted, partly cellar sound and many tracks released here for the first time. So Happy On Your Side is a nice title and the créme de la créme of the inflamed genre to do the honors.

ERIC HYSTERIC & THE ESOTERICS - Drive You Crazy 1981

Pretty rough debut from Eric Hysteric & The Esoterics on Wasted Vinyl Records and the band consisted of Sam & John (vocals), Andy (bass), Eric (guitar), King Bee Jones (drums), Ricky (guitars/bass/vocals). In addition to his work as a solo artist (since 1971) Hysteric was a member of S.C.U.M (1978-1979), the Vomit Visions (1979-1982) and the Frankfurt riot combo Der Durstige Mann (1982-1995). In addition, Hysteric wrote for several Frankfurt fanzines, including "Same Old Song" and "Ultra Hard Core Punk Sounds," and was notorious (among others, the English Zig Zag Magazine and the German music magazine Sounds) for his letters to the editor. The first public project of Hysteric was the punk band S.C.U.M (Löhnberg/Gießen). After a disastrous appearance in the Jugendzentrum Gießen - acclaimed by art students - Hysteric emigrated to London. During sporadic visits to the ancient homeland, he took with the Vomit Visions, which in June 1979 from the remains of S.C.U.M. emerged, various songs on, and provided the punks at the Frankfurt flea market with the latest records from the UK and the US.

In London, Hysteric went to the studio in 1980 with Andy Groome and Leigh Kendall from the Australian punk pioneers Last Words. The result was the album "Drive You Crazy" released under the name Eric Hysteric & The Esoterics. "The Esoterics LP DRIVE YOU CRAZY is one of the most misunderstood masterpieces of pop music. Not a single weak song, uncompromisingly performed, heart-touching "(Karl Bruckmaier, Bayerischer Rundfunk March 14, 1990).

In 1982, Hysteric returned to Germany and founded under the motto: "Who takes us seriously, it is your own fault" together with the (already then) legendary chain spunk Markus Monoton, who had been a member of the Frogs und den Elbseglern, the riot combo Der Durstige Mann. While the German music critic ignored DDM, who initially also included Oskar (drums) and Marcel Roth (guitar), Due to the hairstyles of Monoton and Oskar, who had turned into skinheads around 1980 in protest against the punk turned fashion punk Barney Hoskyns in the New Musical Express (January 8, 1986) understood the DDM philosophy expressed in the programmatic title "This Is Frankfurt Not Boston (Fuck Off L.A.)" and was thrilled, Der Durstige Mann is a filthy sound far removed from our own (american) punk rock, which is extremely conservative, hedged behind allotments of slogans, etc. (...) Two of them are skins, slouching outside public lavs, the other two walled lingering in front of boutiques in grotesque young-men-wear modeling poses. I guess this makes you kid of the cheap trick of Frankfurt punk. M. Monoton (sing) and Eric (guitar) say: "I whistle on London and LA, and they are right."

After the radical trash aesthetic of the first two EPs surprised the thirsty man, now shrunk to the duo Hysteric/Monoton, 1984 with the 12'' "Saufen Ohne Ende" and the album "Bier 4 Tot", of which the single "Bier Nix Gut!" was decoupled. Tesco Vee: "Here are the guys who are really sounding slick enough to enter the world of commercial jingles and the like. Do not get me wrong. It's still boss, the bossest. "The highlight of this pop-phase was the 1985 single" Im Winter Whiskey Im Sommer Pernod".

After reviews and reports in the Bravo, a re-release of "Bier 4 Tot" by Rock-O-Rama and a placement in the WOM sales charts threatened commercial success. Hysteric responded with a radical change of course: Der Durstige Mann found back to his roots with the album "Himmel & Hölle". On the solo albums "The Crazy King (A Fairy Tale)" and "Für Dich" developed Hysteric his "difficult idiosyncratic, but highly sensitive music" on. Eric died on January 20, 2016.

DER DURSTIGE MANN - Hellblaun 1990

Another poetic delight of Frankfurt's garage lo-fi band that had impressed our famous godfather Goethe himself is the sixth album by Der Durstige Mann which is also released on Orgasm Records and it's a musical highlight with sixteen songs about growing old, drinkin' beer, women, love and drinkin' beer again, woman and love and I sold the record a few years ago and in principle a stupid decision but if I run out of money sacrifices must be made, I'm sure you know that. Well, the first time here on wdthtc and I promise you will be satisfied. So open up an Äppelwoi (even if it's early in the morning) and listen to this glamor album.

DER DURSTIGE MANN - Saufen Ohne Ende 12'' 1984

So, some re-upps are done and the weekneds here so I come with along with a delicious 12'' by Der Durstige Mann, everybody knows, everybody loves, stand for strong minimalistic punk rock with a touch of wave sound. Surely you know some of their albums, for example the Bier 4 Tot or Hellblaun albums, and I must say they get more musically from record to record, also here too, all six songs have a melody, a nice rhythm and singing lessons were apparently also took, haha... Honestly, you can say what you want, this band from Frankfurt is so damn unique and I always love listen to them. This 12'' is megarare and I am very pleased to present this stuff on wdthtc. Enough words, mandatory download and the journey into a galactic weekend is opened.

COCKS IN STAINED SATIN - Vollsuff EP 1984

Debut EP on Clorex Records by this great Frankfurt rockers. A clutch of punk and thrash songs, raw, speedy and funny. Brilliant KBD stuff!! Bernd Hasenfus, drummer, and later DER DURSTIGE MANN died sadly in 2009. Therefore on 24/07/2009 was a "bernd memorial evening" in the Elfer Club here in Frankfurt, where well-known local heroes (COPY CATS, BORNHEIM BOMBS, DER DURSTIGE MANN and COCKS IN STAINED SATIN) gave honor to him, my ever beloved girl and I enjoyed this unforgetten charming evening. - Six songs, all cool!

DER DURSTIGE MANN - Himmel & Hölle 1987

Majestic amateurish punk rock from Frankfurt Der Durstige Mann, everyone knows, everyone loves them. Who does not know a single tone becomes yet 100% a fan. ''Himmel & Hölle'' is by far the oddest album they have produced. It includes a Beatles cover 'Little Child' and has many beautiful short songs and the sound quality had prosaicness charakter. Side 2 consists almost entirely longer pieces. For "Monotons Traum" Mark was recorded thirteen minutes at snoring and the result was backed by wild tone-impressions... ("We needed something to make up for the full plate!") Well, is this avantgarde? The record is pressed in flashy colored vinyl. All together, the publications of Eric († 20.01.2016) and syndicate members are great fun an amount.
