小简介
来自德国杜塞尔多夫的老牌乐队Die Toten Hosen,成立于80年代初德国的朋克运动时代,是一支带点工业味道的德国著名Punk Metal乐队。Die Toten Hosen翻译成英文是"死者裤子"(The Dead Trousers)的意思,在德语中的大概意思是说"没有什么新鲜事"。乐队经常参加各种反种族歧视演唱会,主唱据说还拍过电影。乐队自80年代活跃至今
German punk/metal band Die Toten Hosen formed early in the '80s from the ashes of two Düsseldorf punk bands, ZK and KFC. Considering that three members of the Hosen were named Andreas, they took assumed names to avoid confusion: vocalist Campino (b. Andreas Frege; June 22, 1962), guitarist Breiti (b. Andreas Breitkopf; Feb. 6, 1964), rhythm guitarist Kuddel (b. Andreas Von Holst; June 11, 1964), bassist Andi (b. Andreas Meurer; July 24, 1962) and drummer Wölli (b. Wolfgang Rohde; Jan. 9, 1963). After releasing several albums in Germany, the group found a contract with the American label Charisma in 1992 for the collection Learning English: Lesson 1. Three years later, Die Toten Hosen moved to Atlantic for Love, Peace & Money but continue to record for EastWest in their native country, issuing Im Auftrag Des Herrn in 1996. After the band took a break from recording, Nuclear Blast released Crash Landing in the U.S. in spring 2001.
