FAMILIE HESSELBACH – Sueddeutschland & Der Untergang des Hauses H.

Description

The South German punk and new wave band Familie Hesselbach caused a sensation between 1980 and 1985, first regionally and then nationwide. They indulged in a deliberate eclecticism from the musical preferences of the individual family members and formed these into their unmistakable sound. Disco, pop, punk, rap, no wave, funk, the main thing it´s danceable. The lyrics in German and Italian, later also in English – and always with a wink. Their trademarks were the rousing live quality of the performances and the use of brass instruments, trumpet and clarinet from the beginning – the tenor saxophone was added later. After the releases of Familie Hesselbach’s first album “1982” (LP 2020) and the tape “Froh zu sein & 8-EP-Sampler” (Double LP 2023), this third LP includes the 1984 EP “Sueddeutschland” and their very last tape “Der Untergang des Hauses H.” (1985).
