Information About

Blixa Bargeld




In 1980 he founded the music group Einstürzende Neubauten which released numerous albums and singles, performed all over the world, and still exists to this day.

From 1983 to 2003 , Blixa Bargeld was a long-time guitarist and backing vocalist in Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Bargeld also sang several "co-vocals" with Cave , such as on "The Carny" and "The Weeping Song."

He is credited with playing guitar on the Gun Club song, "Yellow Eyes", off the 1987 album Mother Juno .

Since the middle of the 90s Bargeld has appeared live with his solo ''Rede/Speech Performances''. During these performances, usually supported by Neubauten's sound engineer Boris Wilsdorf , he works with microphones, sound effects, overdubbing with the help of sampler loops, and speaks English or German . The performed pieces include such curiosities as a vocal creation of the DNA of an Angel and a parody of a techno song.
