Goethes Erben - 1.Rapitel

Genere: Goth rock, Post Punk, Alternative rock.

Recording year: Indigo, 1994.

Goethes Erben was founded in 1989 by Oswald Henke and Peter Seipt. The founding idea was to combine the German spoken word with music theater. Peter left the band soon afterward, and American Mindy Kumbalek joined in February 1991. The debut album "Das Sterben ist ästhetisch bunt" was released in 1991.

In the years to follow, Goethes Erben became renowned for their spectacular live show, which included specials such as live film projections ("Blau Rebell" Tour). In addition to the numerous concerts in Germany, Goethes Erben frequently toured neighboring countries as well, including Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Austria, Italy and even Mexico.

On stage, Goethes Erben continually set new accents by experimenting with new elements for each major performance: They worked with a dance ensemble, recruited a live band made up of varying guest musicians, and integrated speaking roles into their performances ("Kondition: Macht!").

Meanwhile Goethes Erben established themselves as favorite festival band as well, playing many large festivals, including headlining the Eurorock Festival in Belgium.

In Mexico City, Goethes Erben headlined an open air festival in the parking lot of the Goethe Institute.

Goethes Erben es una banda Alemana, formada en 1989 por Oswald Henke y Peter Seipt. El grupo se ubicó en la escena musical a inicios de los 90’s junto a otras bandas, construyendo un nuevo estilo en el contexto del movimiento gótico y dark wave Alemán. A mediados de los 90’s tomó lugar un cambio de estilo e imagen. Desde ese entonces Goethes Erben concibió un trabajo más bien inspirado en el rock y el avantgarde.

Durante la formación de la banda permaneció la idea de aferrar textos hablados en Alemán como punto central de la música, lo que explica también el nombre de la banda, que será para simbolizar esa idea. Sus presentaciones - denominadas «Teatros Musicales» por Goethes Erben - son producciones musicales avantgardistas.

En la base de la banda está el emplear a su lengua materna el alemán en textos hablados alrededor de la música, de ahí el nombre de la banda para simbolizar la idea. Sus interpretaciones o ejecuciones las refieren como - herederos de teatro musical de Goethe - .
