DIE KASSIERER

In the organizer's words:

Die Kassierer - what is that actually?

Nothing more and nothing less than the German flagship punk band with a very unique career:

Dadaist cabaret gigs in the late 80s, the breakthrough and lots of hostility with the invention and establishment of the so-called fuck song in the 90s, an increasing popularity in all social classes, great popularity at metal festivals and musical accompaniment for whole generations of kids on their way to school in the noughties and nowadays: Regular guest appearances in Wacken, sold-out halls, press articles without end, the award of the "Golden Umberto for Lifetime Achievement" in the TV show "Circus Halligalli" and then the theater production at Schauspiel Dortmund in the world's first punk operetta with the poetic name "Häuptling Abendwind".

In addition to music, cashier frontman Wölfi has been politically active for years, in various parliamentary election campaigns, as a member of the city council and as a candidate for mayor of Bochum.

The whole thing can be taken to the next level, because in 2016 the Kassierer entered their song for Stockholm in the Eurovision Song Contest. They can also make a really good pop song!
