Last night, I stumbled upon these pictures of a German rap group called Deichkind recently performing in Berlin (never you mind how I found them). Their concert looks like a combo of Cirque Du Soleil, Sprocket, GWAR, and an experimental theatre group I saw in New Orleans one time. In other words, it’s simultaneously creepy, amazing, terrifying, and delightful. I’d never heard of Deichkind before. Apparently they’re pretty big over in Germany, and have developed a new sound called “Tech-Rap” which is Techno + Rap. How wonderfully efficient and German of them! Here are some of the pictures, and I’ve also found a couple of their videos (cuh-razy-town). I can’t decide if I love them simply because rapping in German sounds hilarious, or if their awesomeness transcends the language barriers altogether.
More pictures and a totally insane video, after the jump:
I REALLY want to do this:
And here’s the video for their song, “Limit”:
I mean, this could be amazing rap or terrible rap. It may sound impressive because it’s in a foreign language, but for all I know, they could be rapping really awful lyrics. Does anyone know about this group? Help me decide if I love them ironically or unironically.
