A Haus Divided
Contrary to what the map now says, there are still two Germanys.
At least it will seem that way this weekend at the Galaxy Concert Theatre in Santa Ana. On Friday the headliner is KMFDM, and on Sunday it’s Atari Teenage Riot. Each is from Germany. Each plays electronic rock. But the bands have little in common when it comes to their sound and what they stand for.
KMFDM has evolved over an 11-year recording career from a noise machine to a fairly catchy outfit that could swim in the new electronic mainstream, even if Mohawk-sporting founder Sascha Konietzko prides himself on independent-outsider status. The ensemble--which has a rotating membership built around core members Konietzko, En Esch and Gunter Schulz--hammers sardonically at authority and conformism but values a joke, pokes fun at itself and avoids spouting any particular political line.
“Nothing [in the band] is done for a purpose. It’s done for pleasure, our own satisfaction,” Konietzko, 36, said by phone from a tour stop in Austin, Texas, straining to make himself heard over the grinding metal guitars of Rammstein, KMFDM’s German touring partner, doing its preshow sound check. “We do it for ourselves. That’s the bottom line.”
Atari Teenage Riot, on the other hand, is a band on a revolutionary mi

KMFDM
German industrial rock band
KMFDM (originally Kein Mehrheit Für Die Mitleid, loosely translated by the band as "no pity for the majority")[1] is a multinational industrial rock band from Hamburg led by Sascha Konietzko, who founded the band in 1984 as a performance art project.
The band's earliest incarnation included German drummer En Esch and British vocalist Raymond Watts, the latter of whom left and rejoined the group several times over its history. The trio recorded the band's earliest albums in Germany before Konietzko and Esch moved to the United States, where they found much greater success with seminal industrial record label Wax Trax! German guitarist Günter Schulz joined in 1990; both he and Esch continued with the band until KMFDM broke up in 1999. Konietzko resurrected KMFDM in 2002 (Esch and Schulz declined to rejoin) on Metropolis Records, and by 2005 he had assembled a consistent line-up that included American singer Lucia Cifarelli (whom he married), British guitarists Jules Hodgson and Steve White, and British drummer Andy Selway. Konietzko and Cifarelli moved back to Germany in 2007, while the rest of the band stayed in the U.S. Hodgson and White moved on to other pursuits between 2015 and 2017, leaving the band a working trio unoff
