and really liked them (but we sold
them for the same price we had to pay
for producing them; I guess that was
the reason that people liked it)...
rehearsal room and then...
our Music has changed; I guess that
was my fault because I really liked the
Punk but still I often listened to slow,
melancholic Music; then I asked Klaus
if he knew a Band which Plays Rock-
Music that still is Melancholic; and
than he introduced me Ian Curtis’ Joy
Division.
in the name? Just I guess many people
could find it as disrespect to Ian Cur-
tis.
Udo:
Yes, maybe you’re right; but that
was never our intention; it was more a
reminding of Ian Curtis and keeping
his spirit alive.

Nattsol:
And is it possible to find
these records now?
Udo:
No it isn’t; these Tapes are not
available anymore; (maybe someone
keep them in the cellar).
Nattsol:
I see. So how did the sound
change? You say that some stuff like
"Party Girl" was the stuff of "Drunken
Cops" and also became the stuff of
"Dead Curtis". So what were the
changes in common and in examples?
Udo:
I don’t really know; there hap-
pened a lot in our lives; we tried to
write that were not so hard anymore
and we liked it; I guess then we
thought that they didn’t fit to the
Drunken Cops.
But still I think these two years of re-
ally living out this Punk, was enough.
It was time to evolve;
I guess that the Music around us was
evolving too; Sounds had changed,
Punk was getting smoother; In Ger-
many we had this "New German
Wave" Time with dilettantish Musi-
cians, German lyrics and a great suc-
cess; I guess Music around the world
has changed; I’m sure of that!
And this you can’t deny.
Nattsol:
We'll turn to Ian Curtis a bit
later, but now could you say more,
what the music of "Drunken Cops"
was, are there any records and in com-
mon what was the atmosphere about
punk there in your country then?
Udo:
Yes, I guess there was a Punk
Scene in any Town at this time; we had
a small Scene-Hit called "Aussichts-
los" (you find it as a hidden track on
our actual Album). Times were very
political; politicians created Bombs,
everybody was waiting for a new
world war; young people fought the
government; it happened a lot every-
day and the Scene was alive. I guess in
2004 Klaus released a CD called
"Aussichtslos" with some Songs from
the rehearsal Room; some Punk
Tracks in a really bad quality and still
Songs like "The Will" or "Party Girl"
which were the beginning of Dead
Curtis.
Nattsol:
That's regret. But well, what
happened next?
Udo:
Yes, I can remember that one
who bought these Tapes was Klaus; he
liked them too. He was living almost
50 Miles from my home away. The
Sound we recorded was very simple;
maybe still a good songwriting; lyrics
in German; maybe we sound like
cheap "Einsturzende Neubauten".
Klaus was still looking for someone he
could make music with; he had a
friend who played a little bit guitar and
himself he played the Bass-Guitar.
One day he asked me to come to him
and to try to make an own real Punk
Band.
Nattsol:
So it was the beginning of the
band "The Drunken Cops", right? Tell
me more about it, please. How did you
get the rest of the line-up, who have
you chosen this name, what were the
band's first steps and so on.
Udo:
Yes you are right; to find this
Band Name was not that Problem; this
time people didn’t like cops; they
saved the Nazis on the streets and
throwing their water to the Punks who
fought the Nazis (I know...this hasn’t
change...). But to imagine that these
cops are drunken and will shoot di-
rectly was a horrible association; so
what can be more worst than a
"Drunken Cop".
It didn’t take a long time to find a
drummer (I think Klaus has an adver-
tise in some local magazine) and soon
we were the "Fab Four" in Punk (no
not really); first we played a Gig in a
local Youth Center; people left it after
some minutes because we were too
loud! We had another Gig in a local
Town Hall; the problem was that the
complete audience was made of
Heavy Metal Fans (and we played real
dirty Punk...). Then we found another
Nattsol:
So the band was (re)formed.
What was "Dead Curtis" about?
Udo:
First we really tried to live up the
spirit of Ian Curtis but it didn’t work;
we were bad; as bad as the Cops. "The
Will" was the first Song we tried to
create a sound that should remind of
Joy Division but still should give us
our own style, which maybe sounds a
bit like Joy Division but is unmistak-
able "Dead Curtis". We would try to
put all our feelings, depressions in the
Music where we could tell them
everybody and give ourselves a little
bit time to breath. Nowadays we have
the same reason in making Music.
Nattsol:
So Dead Curtis was the evo-
lution of Drunken Cops, or one band
broke up and another one was started?
Why this name for the band?
Udo:
Yes it was an evolution; the
Drunken Cops didn’t brake up; we
played the same Line up with Dead
Curtis; things changed; maybe our
lives changed; there happened a lot in
our private lives (women, death of my
parents and so on); maybe we thought
that we couldn’t make this anymore
and anything should happen. Hm, the
Name of the Band, I don’t know, we
were searching for a new name that
could fit our forthcoming kind of
Music and thought about many names;
one day someone said "Dead Curtis";
we thought "Wow! That’s hard" years
later I found out that it sounds like the
Punk of the "Dead Kennedys" with the
Melancholic of "Ian Curtis"
Nattsol:
What was "Dead Curtis" on
stage in the 80's? What were the crowd
and the crowd's reaction?
Udo:
So with Dead Curtis we were
never on stage; we were in the begin-
ning. We had some great Songs "The
Will", "Lies", "Lost Words" and "Party
Girl"; than one day our complete

Equipment was nicked; just two of us
were employed and nobody had the
money to buy anything of Instruments
or Amplifiers. That was the end of the
Band; we had to break up; fortunately
Klaus had these recordings from the
rehearsal so we could reconstruct these
Original Songs!
Nattsol:
Yeah, that was quite weird
note for me in your press kit, "In 1987
all our Equipment was stolen from the
Rehearsal Room and so the Band split
and we lost every contact for almost
20 years". How did it happen that you
lost the contact and how have you
found each other again?
Udo:
So, we left in 1987; I remember
that the first time we tried to keep the
Contact by telephone or in writing let-
ters; but then anyone of us made com-
pletely different things. Klaus got
married very early, our Drummer too,
I started a higher school; another fault
of me was that I had to change my ad-
dress and was out of sight anymore.
But at this time, there wasn’t much
contact with Klaus anymore. I made
some more Music with a Solo-Project
called "Dream Department" but not
very successful. Sometimes Klaus
played a Session with our Guitarist but
most of the time, they hadn’t had any
contact too. We all lived our own lives.
Years passed by and the world
changed completely. In 2005 Klaus
decided to make his all time dream
come true;
he created his own Indie-Label "Plas-
tic Frog Records"; he put some infor-
mation about the Drunken Cops on his
Site (still couldn’t forget these great
times with the Band); In 2006 I was
sitting drunk at my home computer
and tried anything to search in Google;
I found some great Sites about Punk,
Wave and so on; I was really im-
pressed about the Internet! So I was
writing "Drunken Cops" in this search
bar and got a result! I couldn’t believe
what I saw; this kind of "Homage" to
the Drunken Cops on Klaus’ Web-Site.
First I wrote Klaus a Mail; he couldn’t
believe that I wrote to him because he
(and that’s not a joke) searched for me
for years in the whole Land! That
means a lot, doesn’t it?
lives. So we bought a Digital 8-Track
Home-Recording Studio,
some Instruments, Microphones and
all that stuff and recorded a lot of Ver-
sions from "The Will". That was the
start of a complete new beginning.
Nattsol:
And what the band has done
since that?
Udo:
Yes, unfortunately Klaus is liv-
ing in a complete different town but
anymore 50 Miles away from me. So
we haven’t got the chance to rehearse
every weekend; maybe two times a
month we found the time to play some
Songs or to create complete new Stuff.
Sometimes there are private problems
too, Klaus was ill for some months and
so it took a lot of time to create new
Songs. 3 years to finish this Album
that contains some songs from
1986/1987 and a lot of new stuff we
were inspired too. For us, it was a long
long time and I guess that it will take
the same time to produce some more.
But for us, it was the finish of a 20
Nattsol:
Sure that does. So this crucial
occurrence gave a new birth to the
band?
Udo:
Yes it did; directly we decided to
rebirth the Band; first we tried to con-
tact our drummer and guitarist; it was
hard to find out where they lived but
they were not interested in making a
Band anymore; they had another
