Uli Hundt & Der Wahnsinn - Placebo (1986, Trikont)

The political rock clown band "Schröder Roadshow" originated with members of the music projects Hoffmann and Zarah Zylinder. Die Jeilen Träumer came much later, in 1980. The band first appeared in 1976 under the name "Uli Hundt und Schroeder", and was renamed shortly afterwards as "Schroeder Roadshow". They offered biting ironic and political lyrics as well as an eclectic musical style. The band attacked more or less everything, including themselves.

Musically their main focus was 2-guitars- and saxophone-heavy rock, but with elements from many other styles. Political messages were ambiguous, though the band were on the political left [see »Anarchy in Germoney«, 1978]. They also wrote ballads, such as »Asche in den Wind« and »Die Brüder der romantischen Verlierer«. They worked with Wolf Maahn as co-producer for the »Wir lieben das Land« album in 1982, and Rockpalast director Christian Wagner, who produced bass player Rich Schwab’s two solo albums in 1980 and 1982. Schwab produced Uli Hundt und die Betablocker’s »Schweinehundt« solo album in 1982, recorded and presented live with members of the Zeltinger Band and Dunkelziffer.

Uli Hundt left the band in 1983 and published the »Placebo« solo album in 1986
