Description
With an unusual name, Teutonic beats and aggressive sound, it is often assumed that Nitzer Ebb originated with the German techno scene, but the truth of the matter is that the group hailed from the UK. Formed in 1982 by school friends, Nitzer Ebb were influenced by the harder sounds of the early techno pop scene, distilling elements from several other genres too until they had created their own identifiable sound, characterised by extremely powerful rhythms, minimal sequenced hooklines and fierce, chanted lyrics. Over the years, the band's infectious mix of pounding beats, militaristic imagery, angst and anger filled alternative dancefloors across the world. The band went on an extended hiatus back in 1995 and have been concentrating on their various solo and side projects ever since but reformed for a very special fall 2006 tour. We are thrilled to welcome them back once again here at Slim's!
