Berlin-Köpenick (1994 – 2008, 2011 – present)
Knorkator is a German band from Berlin-Köpenick that combined Industrial Metal with non-serious and comical elements. They proclaimed themselves to be “Germany’s most band in the world” (German: “Deutschlands meiste Band der Welt”), as the title “The best band in the world” was already taken by Die Ärzte. The band was founded in 1994, but only played live gigs in the Berlin / Brandenburg area until 1998.
Knorkator gained further fame (and some notoriety) in 2000 with their performance ofIck wer zun Schwein (sic; literally - berlin dialect “I’m turning into a pig”) in the German national qualification for the Eurovision song contest. Knorkator’s wild stage shows and explicit lyrics, as well as the fact that nearly half of the vocalist’s body is tattooed black, have earned them a reputation as a chaotic comedy band; however, the band’s music actually shows considerable technical and artistic merit that is sometimes overlooked.
Most of Knorkator’s lyrics are in German; however, some songs also feature English (Beating around the bush, Ma Baker etc.), Thai (Mai khao djai, Khid tyng baan), Latin (Aeger sum, Absolution) or French (Ma belle fêmme, Franz Hose) lyrics.
Discography:
* A, 1995 (EP)
* The Schlechtst of Knorkator, 1998
* Hasenchartbreaker, 1999
* Tribute to uns selbst, 2000
* Ich hasse Musik, 2003
* Zu alt, 2005 (DVD+CD)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caX5bNrkoUA geiles Konzert, aber wieso kein "Ich hasse Musik?". Und warum wollte keiner ne zweite Zugabe? War doch teuer genug. Siehe Video.

Ich find des neue Album echt cool. Nur das Gelaber zwischen den Tracks war dem Autofahren bei 180 nicht gerade förderlich, habe doch glatt nen Lachanfall bekommen.

Textlich ist es zwar ein wenig zahm geraten, doch gerade musikalisch um einiges spannender. Und nachdem ich sie gestern in Frankfurt erleben durfte, kann ich sagen, dass das neue Material auch live gut rüberkommt. Trotzdem dürfen sie das nächste Mal wieder der niveauvollen Niveaulosigkeit frönen. :D

Ich bin enttäuscht vom neuen Album ehrlich gesagt. "Du nich", "Arschgesicht", "Refräng", und "Du bist Schuld" sind zwar echt gut, aber 4 Songs gab es schon vorher, zum Teil sogar vor der Auflösung. Und die anderen 5 Tracks gefallen mir nicht wirklich. Schade, hab mich echt auf das Album gefreut und wurde enttäuscht. Sorry Jungs, aber ich hätte das Geld auch sinnvoller investieren wollen.
