\u2013 the big before and after show \u2013<\/strong> „Mickey Mouse in a soundstorm“ – KIXX was at its height when this headline from the end of the ’80s by Tagesspiegel critic Geisenhansl\u00fcke hit the nail on the head about this refreshingly anarchistic and absurd rock-noise-improv band, then at the international forefront of the genre. Slaughtering the sacred cow of music wherever they found it, this band provoked in every way – shying away from neither slapstick nor brute force sound orgies as they fervidly assaulted and abused each and every sound, noise and object from the technologized world: manipulated record players, duck calls, junky home organs, condomized microphones and lots more.<\/p>\n A legend in its own time, KIXX<\/strong> was launched in 1983 as a student band in Oldenburgisch-Bremischen and soon internationally expanded. The band reached its zenith at the end of the ’80s in numerous international appearances with John Zorn, Zeena Parkins, Shelley Hirsch and others. It fell apart early in the ’90s when its members went off in various artistic directions. The temporary, one-time-only rebirth of this truly unconventional formation in its mythical original line-up – with Lars Rudolph, Wigald Boning, Willehad Grafenhorst alias Willy Hart and drummer Jim Meneses from Philadelphia (who joined the band a few months after it came together) – is an incredible attraction not least due to the fact that some of the musicians took off on other paths, where they have since enjoyed considerable careers: Lars Rudolph as an actor in films and theater (i.e. with Christoph Marthaler), Wigald Boning as a well-known comedian and TV star. Dietmar Diesner is the musical embodiment of \u2019Living Performance\u2018. He was brought into the KIXX band early on and in this constellation, he was the first musician from the GDR to play in a Freunde Guter Musik concert back in 1988. \u2013 Get your KIXX at Maria\u2018s on December 5, 2004!<\/p>\n Supported by Initiative Neue Musik Berlin e.V.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 05.12.2004 Maria am Ostbahnhof \u2013 the big before and after show \u2013 Lars Rudolph (Berlin) \u2013 Trompete, Stimme Wigald Boning (Allg\u00e4u) \u2013 Saxophone, Keyboards, Stimme Willehad Grafenhorst (Berlin) \u2013 E-Bass, Keyboards, Elektronik Jim Meneses (Philadelphia) \u2013 Schlagzeug als Gast: Dietmar Diesner (Dresden) \u2013 Saxophon, Elektronik „Mickey Mouse in a soundstorm“ – KIXX was at its height when this headline from the end of the ’80s by Tagesspiegel critic Geisenhansl\u00fcke hit the nail on the head about this refreshingly anarchistic and absurd rock-noise-improv band, then at the international forefront of the genre.
