Is there a German rock band whose most songs have hardly lost any relevance even after more than 50 years?

Probably not many, but surely one: Ton Steine Scherben. After the early death of their singer Rio Reiser (†1996), the band has returned to the stage in various formations in the new millennium. Two original Scherben are still touring today through German-speaking countries: founding member Kai Sichtermann (bass, since 1970) and drummer Funky K. Götzner (since 1974, now Cajón).

From April 2023, they will perform together with singer/songwriter nominee Birte Volta (vocals, guitar). Birte passionately embodies both folk blues and the rock'n'roll that evolved from it, drawing on years of street and stage experience both domestically and internationally, with her solo project as well as being a singer and guitarist in various formations of these genres.

The trio draws from the repertoire of Rio Reiser and the Scherben and keeps the memories of a rebellious time alive: The radicality of the Scherben, which was a lived everyday radicalism.

Is there a German rock band whose songs have hardly lost any relevance even after more than 50 years? Probably not many, but certainly one: Ton Steine Scherben.
Ton Steine Scherben was founded in 1970 in West Berlin by R. P. S. Lanrue (real name Ralph Peter Steitz), Rio Reiser (real name Ralph Möbius), Kai Sichtermann, and Wolfgang Seidel, who were all around 20 years old at that time.
After the early death of their singer Rio Reiser (†1996), the band returned to the stage in various line-ups in the new millennium. Two original members of the band are still touring today in German-speaking countries: Kai Sichtermann (bass, since 1970) and drummer Funky K. Götzner (since 1974, now Cajon). Since April 2023, they have been playing together with songwriter nomad Birte Volta (vocals, guitar).
Birte embodies both folk-blues and the rock'n'roll that emerged from it with passion and poetry, drawing on years of experience in street music and on stage.

The trio draws from the repertoire of Rio Reiser, R.P.S. Lanrue, and the Scherben, keeping the memories of a rebellious time alive: the radicalism of the Scherben, which was a lived everyday radicalism with values, heart, and ideals!
