Die Skeptiker

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Die Skeptiker is a Punk band founded 1986 in East Berlin.

Die Skeptiker were part of the so called Die anderen bands (the other bands in according to the mainstream bands in East germany) which played very political lyrics that criticised life in the GDR.

After German reunification in 1990 the band lost a lot of their fans, and on following tours people were very violent against the band members.

Vocalist Eugen Balanskat founded in 2000 the band Roter Mohn (later renamed to Rotorfon) playing Punk rock cover versions of 1920s - 1940s lyrics. In 2006 is the (temporary) reunion of the band, because of their 20th anniversary of the foundation.
