Mona Mur
, born in Hamburg, met
FM Einheit
,
Alexander Hacke
, and
Mark Chung
from
Einstürzende Neubauten
and
Gode B.
from
Front
during the punk explosion. As
Mona Mur & Die Mieter
they released their first 12" single
Jeszcze Polska
in '82, which immediately claimed the "Single of the Week" slot by London's New Musical Express. Mona Mur then lived a wild life in Paris and Berlin. In fall 1984, she formed a new Mona Mur band with FM Einheit and Alexander Hacke, joined by
Flucht nach Vorn
keyboardist
Nikko Weidemann
(today
Moka Efti Orchestra
),
Siewert Johannsen
(guitar,
Stricher
), and
Thomas Stern
(bass,
Crime and the City Solution
). This Mona Mur band was recorded and mixed live by
Raymond "Nainz" Watts
(Einstürzende Neubauten,
Psychic TV
,
KMFDM
) at his Building Site studio in Hamburg. The band played acclaimed concerts in Germany and Europe, as well as festivals, such as the renowned Pandora's Box in Rotterdam. Their manically intense live performance in guitar thunderstorms and morbid slowbeat chic and especially their seminal
Brecht/Weill
interpretations ("Surabaya Johnny", "Der Song von Mandelay", "Die Ballade vom Ertrunkenen Mädchen") are still cult today. The band broke up in spring of '86, and Mona Mur embarked on a solo career. The recordings, made between 1984-1986, had never been released... until now.
