Concert: Der Plan

DER PLAN have always been more than a band: Visual arts have been just as important as music to them. Some see them as pioneers of Neue Deutsche Welle, others as the best German band of all time. In 2017 they released their latest album „Unkapitulierbar“. DER PLAN are performing in Stuttgart for the first time in almost 30 years. Established in 1979 and appearing in the DER PLAN 4.0 version from 2004 to 2006, the electro-pop band started up as a virtual band in 2007 and currently performs with Frank Fenstermacher, Kurt Dahlke alias Pyrolator, and Moritz Reichelt alias Moritz R@. The label ATA TAK founded by Pyrolator, Reichelt and Fenstermacher was one of the first European indie labels and published albums by DAF, Andreas Dorau, Holger Hiller, and Element of Crime. Reichelt designed covers for Depeche Mode and was crucial in the initiation of the tiki/lounge revival. Fenstermacher played on the “Monarchie & Alltag” by Fehlfarben and released several solo albums. Kurt Dahlke works as a producer and programmer, most recently for Edgar Froese.
