Alles Wieder Offen - Einstürzende Neubauten

Interviews… (some of them in German, sorry)

Blixa is always a challenging and forthright interview subject. Here he is with a not particularly inspired journalist explaining one of the key tracks of the album.

The Band isn’t just Blixa, of course. Here’s a quick introduction to the other members…

…and here is a much younger Blixa with the great, and sadly late, Roger Willemsen, seeming much more at home.

Two years before the previous interview, he went back to school…

…and in this film, which comes from around the same time as the album, Blixa goes round to his Mum’s.

This is an officially authorised video about the recording of Alles Wieder Offen

Finally, here’s Blixa chatting with Tom’s old bandmate Jon Whitney, AKA Brainwashed.

Live Shows, etc…

This is Neubauten at the Casa da Musica in Porto; Somewhere in the audience is a thunderstruck Gav…

Hugo Ball about to spit some fresh rhymes.

Hmmm….Age Restricted…well, under this is the movie that took Tom’s fancy, Halbe Mensch.

Blixa does poetry with a popular hardware firm’s catalogue.

Magnus Lindberg’s Kraft, inspired by living in Berlin and going to the kind of clubs where Neubauten played…probably with Adriene from Liquid Sky opening for them.
