Weird facts about TD

[24db]

There was once a gig where Edgar, Johannes & Chris dressed up in Mozart clothing can anyone remember when this gig was & if they where @ this gig.....I always wondered about this one...

Greeting from Geoff on Pismo Beach central coast California

Hi Geoff

Actually it was much earlier, it was Chris, Peter and Edgar it was for the German Doc Schwibsche (etc etc....you don't expect me to spell it from memory do you?) broadcast in 1976

Yep. Seen a few photos of that. What was all that about then?

it was the 70's man!....no seriously I guess they're making a comparision about the old and new technology....plus it might be a pastiche of the Wendy Carlos album

or did you mean the whole Doc?

No. Just the dressing up bit. I was fearful that it was a 'TD does the classics moment'.

As if ....besides that's been delayed ....if I spoke German (and I should) then perhaps I'd know if it's explained during the programme

whatever happened to that album? it was planned for 1999

After TD's gig at the Olympia Audio Fair in 1975, TD were presented with a cake by the journalist Karl Dallas, as a laugh Peter Baumann squashed this on top of his head whilst he chatted to Edgar....we'll it must have made sense at the time

Ahh! I can see Mr Franke having a little giggle at Mr Dallas' expense at the back of the shot there.

Experemental Synth players:one Toadying Critics: nil

Anyway....back to the weird stuff...

In 1981 TD played a gig in Aachen (in Germany), they played their mainset...walked off, and then returned for the encores dressed in Gorilla suits (Chris Franke having his mask , as rumour has it, on upside-down).

The Gorillaz first gig perhaps?

Perhaps the Tangs were taking the michael out of their fellow German Synth Rivals Kraftwerk who always went on stage all wearing the same smart suits!!

The Tangs dressed as gorillas' I've gotta see.

If the worst happens, make sure you get a receipt and keep the cards just in case you lose your pre gig shots.
