Zeltinger – Der Chef (1981)

Who the fuck is Zeltinger? Today he's a beast of 150 kg. They sing about drug and sex addicts, homosexuals, criminals, perverts, hustlers – and that's exactly what they are, or at least what they were when the party started. Don't let your family listen to the insulting outbursts of Zeltinger on some of the songs! They did their first concert on carnival in 1979 with Jaki Liebezeit (ex Can) on drums just for fun, and it was so much fun that it had been repeated and sold out 19 (!) times in a row on the remaining carnival holidays. Later they toured with the Ramones and Boomtown Rats, putting Bob Geldof in the shadow.

"Der Chef" is just another masterpiece by Conny Plank. Who would have imagined him to produce a punk band? But he was the only one with enough authority to control these gangsters. He even wrote parts of the lyrics. It's the only record I know with a credit for the psychiatrist – must have been a hard job, man!

Their website is being rebuild right now, you find concert dates and more about their incredible history there.
