Great bands from the past

On the cover of legendary British music weekly Sounds – 1984

CABARET VOLTAIRE (1973–1994, 2009–2021) were British pioneers
in all things techno/electro/dance/dark-post-punk-wave/acid-house.
They started as a trio with Stephen Mallinder, Richard H. Kirk, and
Chris Watson.

The latter already left in 1981 and Stephen Mallinder went his
own way in 1995. Fourteen years later, in 2009, Kirk revitalized
CV until his sudden death 2 years ago,
aged only 65.

Cabaret Voltaire released 14 LPs, and individually or collaborating
with other artists, all three musicians also recorded multiple albums.

1-2-3 great CV moments.

Best Band In The World LEG LEG LEG PUPPY Go NAG NAG NAG VOLTAIRE

Daily electricity to load your batteries

24 July 2023

London‘s underground techno-punk mavericks LEG PUPPY prove again that they
are the best band in the world, although nobody knows them yet, except their noise-tortured neighbours and the noise-pollution police), with a cover of NAG NAG NAG, a CABARET VOLTAIRE classic, the groundbreaking electro/industrial avant-garde heroes from Sheffield, UK (1973–1994, 2009–2021). RIP Richard H. Kirk (1956-2021).

And they did a great job (that’s what the best band in the world need to do to stay
the best band in the world). They didn’t copy/paste the raw original version, but gave
it the by now worldwide famous Leg Puppy treatment by pumping up the synth decibels, going everywhere fast and adding psychotic Nag Nag Nag chants.

As usual, we also get a splendid video clip.

Wake up world.
Watch/listen.
