Hello. It's great to sure how legendary the silly name of this German punk band has become! The same foreign band is currently better known by its shortened name of P.O.X.
Last year: when I was searching the word 'pox' as in my now-dormant chickenpox, I only thought the word was about a moderate (but contagious) disease. My gamer thumbs did another thing: they searched hard for a foreign punk band. That would result in my accidental discovery of the same band bearing that name. It's also the first time the word 'pox' made me laugh a lot!
Now: I am starting to know more about the same band, its history and influence on the punk movement. I think the name's meaning is 'psychobilly orchestra X'.
1982 was a great year for a trio of outrageous men to form a psychobilly band. They are all German and working in Hanover, which is also the home of famed movie studios, particularly Constantin film. Since they founded the band together, they toured many parts of Europe until their retirement from public spotlight in 1991.
But that doesn't mean their band is officially 'dead'! I think P.O.X has lied dormant for seventeen years, till it got revived by the same men. During that time, they work in different places and have different jobs. However, it turns out that Slin Pox (aka Nils Enghusen) is the most resilient, because he left the group (early) to form another band called 'Celebrate the Nun' and after that; leading the German music school 'Fit In Music' in Garbsen, a town in the Hanover district.
Since their comeback in 2008, they now have a recent album featuring (their current trademark song) 'Don't Like Me', which tells their own tale of a hungry zombie who desires for elderly human brains! I believe this modern-day story is proved to be a rudely cautionary (black comedy) tale, because zombies are a good veteran subject when it comes to songs like this! Hum, the only album thing that I'm intolerant about, is that the album cover is just too bloody nuts..
Have you seen this rock band?
