Although he is a confirmed punk fan from the very beginning, he believes that Bo Diddley and Lee Hazlewood are much more important than the Damned or the Dead Boys. After seeing the Cramps playing in London in 1979 he can't help put digging in the musical underground of the fifties and the sixties in search of the lost chord! Between 1984 and 1996 he writes for different garage punk and rock and roll fanzines like Glitterhouse, What Wave, Ditch Digging, Exit 9 and Hartbeat. At the Punk! Kongress he will hold a musical lecture about the roots of punk rock. more... Siegfried Kalus “Punk is young, fast and scientific, but also here today and gone tomorrow!”
