Die Regierung - So Drauf

Play Loud! Productions present the first vinyl reissue of German band Die Regierung's 1992 album, So Drauf. It was their first record on the famous Hamburg based L'Age D'Or label. Christoph Gurk writes, "Led by an acidhead, who is already in his thirties, the singer/songwriter band has lived through an erratic career. Originally founded as a home-recording outfit, Die Regierung ('The Government') released a seminal debut album - Supermüll (PL 057LP, 1984) - in the aftermath of German New Wave (NDW)." Die Regierung anticipated the sound that, years later, became known as the Hamburger Schule, and set the tone for German independent music in the early '90s. Die Regierung had a huge influence on Germany's most famous independent Hamburger Schule band, Tocotronic, but they never hit it big. Includes two bonus tracks. Edition of 500.
