Spliff (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Spliff was a German New Wave ("Neue Deutsche Welle") band in the 1970s and 1980s.

Formed in April 1979, Spliff was a spinoff of the Nina Hagen Band when the male musicians claimed that Nina had become too bossy. Spliff released four albums: The Spliff Radio Show, 85555, Herzlichen Glückwunsch, and Schwarz Auf Weiß. In 1984 the band members split up to focus on their solo careers. In 1982 they had recorded "Carbonara" , referring to the roman typical plate.

The term "Spliff" is German slang for a cannabis cigarette.
