Einstürzende Neubauten

Bio

Einstürzende Neubauten formed in West Berlin in 1980 and quickly became a defining force in the industrial and experimental music scenes. The group is known for its use of custom-built instruments, power tools, and found objects, creating a raw, percussive sound that challenged conventional notions of music. Their early performances often took place in unconventional venues, reflecting the post-punk and avant-garde ethos of the era. Over the decades, the band has maintained a consistent lineup centered around Blixa Bargeld, N.U. Unruh, and Alexander Hacke, while evolving their sound to incorporate more melodic and structured elements. Their influence extends across genres such as noise rock, post-punk, and electronic body music, and they remain active as both recording artists and live performers.
