Die Art
In the organizer's words:
With Underground to the top.
Die Art emerged at the end of 1985 from the predecessor band Die Zucht and was one of the so-called Other Bands in the GDR. With their rather dark punk-inspired songs, Die Art helped to shape the music of the reunification period.
Over the years, the band developed a sound that is difficult to categorize. Dark wave, indie pop, guitar pop or post punk are valid terms that never quite get to the heart of the matter.
After the band broke up in 2001, a second productive phase began in 2007 and has continued to this day.
Their website states: "Musically, DIE ART had their roots in the punk or post-punk of the early eighties, but always strove to break out of the narrow stylistic corset. Labels such as punk, post-punk, dark wave or guitar pop were only ever partially accurate, because DIE ART was above all an independent and unmistakable band." So far, so true. But above all: so good!
And the past tense in the last sentence of the quote can be safely deleted. DIE ART are still one of the very few Leipzig bands that unmistakably stand for themselves, a (musical) style and a message.
