Berlin, Germany (1982 – 1988, 1993 – present)
Die Ärzte (German for “The Doctors”) are a German rock/punk rock band from Berlin, Germany. They call themselves “die beste Band der Welt” (“the best band in the world”) as tribute to the band KISS who call themselves “the hottest band in the world”. Along with Düsseldorf outfit Die Toten Hosen, Die Ärzte are among the best-known German punk rock bands.
The band consists of guitarist Farin Urlaub, drummer Bela B. and bass player Rodrigo Gonzalez. All of them write and sing. However Farin writes most, followed by Bela and Rod. Some songs are collaborations between two or all three.
Die Ärzte were formed in 1982 by Jan Vetter (alias Farin Urlaub, a pun on the expression “Fahr in’ Urlaub”, meaning “Go on vacation”), Dirk Felsenheimer (alias Bela B.) and bassist Hans Runge (alias Sahnie). Bela and Farin had previously played together in a band Soilent Grün; after that band broke up they decided to form a band playing fun songs, in contrast to the mostly political bands of the punk scene at that time. While deriving from that punk scene, their early music was heavily influenced by pop and rock’n’roll, especially The Beatles, whom Farin heard a lot as a child due to his mother playing their records. Another influence might be the Comedian Harmonists; however, the Band denies any known connection to their music. Due to a lack of money for the equipment Farin did not play his guitar distorted at that time.

Ich finde nicht, dass die neuen Lieder so Kommerz sind... Die Ärzte sind sich immer treu geblieben und haben kreative Texte geschrieben!

markot93: Hoffentlich garnicht mehr, JiA war ja schon unter aller Sau. Manche Bands sollten einfach nach ein paar guten Alben aufhoeren anstatt danach lauter schlechte rauszubringen. >.

"Und ich such' mir meinen Sender raus und spiel' mit 100 Phon..." Es gibt eine neue Last.fm-Gruppe über die Berliner Band Spliff. Ihr Keyboarder Reinhold Heil ist inzwischen Teil des Pale 3-Projektes mit Johnny Klimek und Tom Tykwer, die Soundtracks wie "Lola rennt", "Der Krieger und die Kaiserin", "One Hour Photo" oder "Das Parfum" komponiert haben. Und Schlagzeuger Herwig Mitteregger hat in letzter Zeit zwei neue Alben herausgebracht. Bassist Manfred Praeker hat früher Die Ärzte produziert. ZZee ya, Hans-Jürgen
