Alfred Hilsberg stands for independent
music culture in Germany like nobody else. As music journalist, concert
organizer and founder of the labels ZickZack
and What´s
So Funny About he is influential and tirelessly involved,
to give punk and other forms of new German music a forum. In 1977, infected by the London punk virus, Hilsberg starts to organize concerts for bands like the Vibrators and Stranglers in Germany. At the same time, as a music journalist, he made the new movement public. Legendary festivals like Geräusche für die 80er follow. As a result he founds the ZickZack label with different and at that time unknown bands like Abwärts, Die Einstürzenden Neubauten, Die Krupps, Palais Schaumburg and Die tödliche Doris and releases their first albums. As a protagonist of the early days, Hilsberg will gossip about the emerging punk movement in West Germany and talk about his experience in the music business. |
