Rewind to the Seventies. Bands especially in Germany were trying to find their own voices that were not anglophone. Bands such as Kraftwerk or Neu were the first, to be followed by many others in new wave-times. Among these, a band from Berne, Switzerland. Their hit was “Eisbär” and it hit a nerve in neigboring countries. One member was Stephan Eicher who went on to become a very successful solo artist. A contemporary of the Nits. Guitar master Hank Shizzoe is a frequent collaborator of Eicher’s and has collaborated in concerts with the Nits. Stefan Horlitz is a music teacher from Germany who loves the Nits. Joke Roelandt is a Belgian philosopher who writes in depth about the Dutch band.

Joke Roelandt’s writing can be found on https://joke-roelandt.com/. Roman Wyss: “Guggisberglied” Stefan Horlitz: Music for Joke
