The former Stasi headquarters

German

In 1986, two members of the band VITAMIN-A were imprisoned because of their texts and band activities. Upon their release in 1987, the band reformed under the new name ANTI-X. By now the socialist labour market was under pressure und and all of the band members had jobs, leaving them little time for rehearsals. ANTI-X made a virtue of necessity and inscribed their banners (and DIY t-shirts) with the slogan: “Rehearsing is cowardly!”
