Wolfsheim

Biografía

Wolfsheim [??v??lfsha??m] was an Electronica/Dark Wave/Synthpop band from Hamburg, Germany. The band was founded in 1987 by Markus Reinhardt and Pompejo Ricciardi. They were inspired by the name of a fictional character from F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. Reinhardt's brother Oliver Reinhardt joined the band sometime afterward. After producing a demo tape, co-founder Ricciardi left the band and was replaced by Peter Heppner. Heppner had known the band from mutual friends and from growing up in the same neighborhood in Hamburg. Oliver Reinhardt departed the band, leaving the current lineup as Peter Heppner (vocals) and Markus Reinhardt (electronics).[1] Their first public show took place at Werkstatt 3, a small club in Hamburg. After making two new demo tapes, Wolfsheim applied at various labels, getting nothing but rejections, until they caught the attention of the sole employee of Strange Ways Records. In 1991, the single "The Sparrows and the Nightingales" was released (the first release ever on Strange Ways[2]). Although not heavily promoted, "Sparrows" became a fast hit. Their next album, Popkiller, released in October of 1993, also did well. Wolfsheim released a compilation, 55578, in February 1995. This album was comprised of many tracks previously featured on singles, as well as some unreleased material. The first 55,578 copies were "special editions", containing a bonus disk with material recorded at the Strange Ways Festival.[3] 55578 made it to the German Media Control Charts, where it stayed for five weeks. In February 1996, they released their fourth album, Dreaming Apes (number 91 in the German album charts). Wolfsheim began touring on their own for the first time in May 1996. Hamburg Rom Wolfsheim, the duo's first live album, was recorded on the 1996 Dreaming Apes tour, and released in October 1997. Wolfsheim received much more attention when Heppner recorded a duet with Joachim Witt, "Die Flut". Th
