Vroammm!

Vroammm! – Punks & Bullen United (Berlin, 1981)

So, did you think those Bullshit Detector compilation bands were amateurish? Ok, look at this video and tell me this is with no doubt the most badly, awfully and inept song ever played. But this is the reason why I consider this video so great and a true masterpiece in music history. It represents people finding their own voice and way of expression at its best.

Vroammmm! was formed by Mutfak, Thomas Zinke and legendary german underground musician Max Müller, who played in Honkas, in the huge influential act Campingsex (a favourite of mine), and with Mütter. By the way, his brother was Wolfgang Müller, who fronted the avantgarde band Die Tödliche Doris.

Calm song by a band that deserved to be influential and to have more recognition than they had. Who knows, maybe it's better this way, so let's keep Salem 66 as a little secret to be discovered. To post any song from their first records would be great (“Across the sea” or “Pony Song” are true gems), but let's go for “Sleep On Flowers” from the now legendary Boston Bands That Could Be God compilation.
