Prager Handgriff Live Video "Night of
Darkness" 1994
Prager Handgriff was founded in the 'Ruhr
Area', the biggest industrial region of
Germany, at the beginning of a new decade in
spring 1990. For this project, Stefan
SchÄfer and Volker Rathmann wanted to leave
their unstatisfactory experiences with
traditionally punk/new-wave bands behind, so
they started using samplers, synthesizers,
and sequencers to bring their ideas to life.
Around August 1990 the first tape,
'Rückstand aus Vormonaten' was recorded. In
2002 Prager Handgriff had their first release
in the USA called 'Neurotix'. The band
started to write lyrics in English, but soon
after turned back to their native language of
German, mainly so their message would remain
clear to the German audience they grew from.
At this point it would be more confusing than
helpful to compare the music of Prager
Handgriff to others. Although daily life in
an industrial area influenced the band, early
new-wave and German punk bands played a big
part as well. Prager Handgriff attempts to
translate a full spectrum of influences into
music without having usual clichees. The
style of music is left to the listeners and
their imaginative power...
