Tocotronic is a german band from
Hamburg. Their musical style could be compared with
Nirvana and they are one of the founders of the so called Hamburger Schule. This group of bands, including
Sterne,
Blumfeld and some less well known bands, stands for a new type of
German rock music away from 80' hard rock bands like
The Scorpions. They have a complete different basis as other German rock bands, which mostly come from the working class. Tocotronic stands for a young and intellectual music.
Tocotronic consists of:
Dirk von Lowtzow - vocals, guitar
Jan Müller - bass, vocals
Arne Zank - drums, vocals guitar
