My first show post-injuries was a fun alien-themed house party where I played with a bunch of dudes that I know really well and respect. I almost blew it when I forgot the 12V power cable for my WASP, but thankfully another performer had a 12V and the day was saved at the last minute. Many more pictures are coming later.
Einstürzende Neubauten at Slurpen for “Tidskonsept II”, Oslo 1983.
Artist collective Lambretta invited Einstürzende Neubauten and Holy Toy to perform in their studio that they converted into a gallery space for the evening.
The locale was decorated with painted tv-screens, painted tarps, sheet metal and hanging oil drums, and playing documentary and propaganda clips from wartime Germany and the Soviet Union.
The performance was attended by the art elite, punks, and a tv-crew from the Norwegian national broadcasting network NRK.
The night ended with band members from Einstürzende Neubauten throwing Molotov-cocktails into the crowd, and the crowd reacting similarly by setting fire to the instruments and set design by Lambretta.

“I took these photos during a free outdoor concert in Münster, Germany - Summer, 1987. I had never heard of Einstürzende Neubauten until then but I never forgot after that! 😆”
