loved their "century days" in 89 or so, saw them live at a lil club in Vancouver.. recall the guitar plyr stuck his cigarette on the sharp string-tip at the headstock, so the butt was burning away as they played... and the smoke was rising in a steady, still column of blue-white... stillness amid the volume...
I had the sheer luck of seeing them open for Sonic Youth during the opening of their 'Daydream Nation' tour in New York at The Ritz. As important as this show was for SY, I spent my energy seeking out DK and found singer Dan Kubinski. I was a bit tipsy, but I tried not too get too drunkenly sycophantic. He was very modest, looked down and said thank you. The guitar just reverberated hypnotically through the place!
I remember flying down I-95 in Todd Cambpells' Camero @ 100 MPH from WPB to Miami to see these guys @ theCameo theatre in 87. You still suck Todd! Now I'm a heavy equipment mech. What R U a date rapist? HA HA HA , now thats a killing joke!!!
Dan and Die Kreuzen were the Pride of Milwaukee. I was young as shit when they broke...but I saw em every chance I got. He jams with Put Her In The Trunk, and Decapitado now
Many times I have seen these guys in Milwaukee! I watched Dan K.(lead singer) hug the speakers at a Soundgarden show at the Oddrock many moons ago with maybe 30 people in the place! diggin' it long before it broke. A touching artist with a silent keen ear for music!
I see Danny starring in the future Cheap Trick documentary as Robin Zander!!??
Both have amazing vocal range and a heart in the right place!!
god, that's great... "century days" is certainly one of the best of the 80s and the first and more "hardcore" album is the only one that i don't really like
They were on "Touch and Go" records there entire carer, even for this song. Touch and Go records is an INDEPENDENT label from Chicago.
As a musician if you never change your sound through out your carer to try to sound the same as you did when you were young then you are not being true to yourself and might as well be sellouts.
Plus there band almost never made good money for them.
Tim Yohannon's (R.I.P.)review of their first LP Die Kreuzen was the most radical I had seen from him as he was my favorite reviewer at MRR (Maximum Rock n' Roll). All it said over and over again was.."This is Fucking Great. This is Fucking Great..."
Nope not Areosmith. They did a pretty good version of an Aerosmith song "seasons of the wither" I think this was on the same EP. There is also a very good acoustic version of this song on Their last LP "cement. Truly one of the most over looked bands out there. They were so very good, thanks for posting this!
There has never been another band like them (OK, so Voivod could come to mind...) and I doubt there ever will. I feel fortunate to have some emotional connection to pretty much every one of their songs - in a perfect world, they would be gods.
oh dude , thanks , I was beginning to think that I was the only one finding this stuff incredibly similar to say , "angel rat" or even "the outer limits" by Voivod
the reason Voivod, Soundgarden, Sonic Youth, might be mentioned here is because die kreuzen influenced those bands. re: voivod, give me a break. The first die kreuzen lp influenced much of their sound.
It's a shame, but the price you pay for being first sometimes is anonymity (at least in terms of fans of bands they influenced). not that these guys sought stadium rock fame, $, etc. (they were punk through all their changes).
Milwaukee FTW
