Einstürzende Neubauten (German pronunciation: [ˈaɪnˌʃtʏɐtsəndə ˈnɔʏˌbaʊtən], "Collapsing New Buildings") is a German industrial band, originally from West Berlin, formed in 1980. The group currently comprises Blixa Bargeld (lead vocals, guitar, keyboard), Alexander Hacke (bass, guitar, vocals), N.U. Unruh (custom-made instruments, percussion, vocals), Jochen Arbeit (guitar and vocals), and Rudolf Moser (custom-built instruments, percussion, and vocals).
One of their trademarks is the use of custom-built instruments, predominantly made out of scrap metal and building tools, and noises, in addition to standard musical instruments.
On April 1, 1980, Einstürzende Neubauten made their first appearance in the Moon Club in Berlin.
Been a fan since mid 80s when I lived in Arizona. Finally got to see them live in London a few years ago. They were incredible. Blixa is SUCH a good front man. The stage looked like a junk pile, but it made the MOST beautiful sounds. Sheer genius.
