Durst-Kapelle - "Lebend" Jan 1978 AJZ, Bielefeld and Odeon, Gütersloh (TRAP 12)

This upload is approved by erwe (some time ago)

This is part of a small series of POLIT ROCK recordings, documents of different bands, different kind of tapes. Therefore I asked Dime mods about uploading them who kindly allowed sharing all these (DURST, FLOH, TBK and BRÜHWARM). Political views are very different ranging from communistic, anarchistic, undogmatical left, gender to ecological based lyrics. Anyway, now that all political themes are still present this times I think it's suitable to share these stuff.
I've never seen this stuff anywhere else, so these must be literally very rare. 

This series contains also (and I hope I get ready with them in 2010):

This is the documentation of the first and 2nd concert of the Durst-Kapelle ever. It contains lots of cover versions, naturally. The purpose of the bands congregation and spontaneous concerts was supporting political prisoners from Bielefeld which were accused being themselves supporters of german terrorists, obviously being innocent.

I attended the appearence in the AJZ and bought the tape for 7 DM "plus Spende" from Aug 1978 on. There is no official release of this band. 
I contacted former members of the band, in fact the two persons who are still in business. I am glad that there are no objections from Dieter Schlensog ("Berserker") and Helmut Lemke.

The Durst-Kapelle was followed later in 1978 by the "Nach-Durst-Kapelle" (until 1980).

Dieter schrieb mir dazu folgendes:

"die nach-durst-kapelle hats immerhin auf einen tag im tonstudio gebracht, woraus ein demotape titels 'ein streifzug durchs leben' entstanden ist, ansonsten einige gigs in ostwestfälischen jugendtreffs, geklaute rockmusik mit eigenen deutschen texten war angesagt, dazu kostümierung und bischen absurde dönekes auf der bühne, orientiert an schröder roadshow und törner stier crew.

dann hatten helmut und ich den papp auf von abgerauchten verstärkern und ewigem boxen schleppen und haben uns auf straßenmusik/klamauk verlegt. das hieß dann 'glitterpinguins', dazu findest du was auf meiner webseite, da ist auch der 'berserker' entstanden, und etliches gibts dort über deren nachfolgetruppe 'heinrich mucken'.

ende der 80er hab dann mit paar anderen leuten noch 'beat the beat' gemacht, 60er songs in punk manier. davon gibts ne (selbstgemachte) doppelcd des letzten live gigs, siehe webseite dazu werde ich in kürze auch ne nette fotoserie ergänzen."


notes: I've smoothed all the transitions between the tracks, where there are squeeze noises because of stopping/starting the tape for the next track. It is not a seamless recording, but now it seems to be. I optimized the volume (-1 dB) and did nothing else.
