| Discussion: Faust Awesome band >>By bill Pretty extreme & anarchic band. One of them was a commited nudist apparently. They didn't do things by halves. >>By nonyeb Neither did the guy their name comes from. I didn't know they were a band, I thought this was the literature page, lol. >>By Flagg They were an original "krautrock" German band of the early '70s but I believe they're still going strong in some incarnation. They took their name from the German word for "fist". >>By nonyeb Ah, shows what I know. >>By Flagg Well, I first thought it was an allusion to the literary Faust as well. The cover of their first album features an X-ray photo of a human fist. I think they chose the motif to tie in with the spirit of their anarchy. >>By nonyeb ...... or perhaps the force of their musical anarchy, I should say! Their range of anarchy ran to incorporating industrial & power tools sonically into the mix. That was pretty innovative for the early '70s. I think they once performed a concert that included the breaking up of a car on stage, so you might say they were into performance-art too! >>By nonyeb You are not logged in.
