Alphaville Live In Concert - NYC Aug 5 2017

Featuring Marian Gold and Full Band. Opening entertainment by christopher ANTON and the Joneses


Alphaville - www.alphaville.info

The nucleus of Alphaville had already been formed by the end of the seventies, at the Berlin University of the Arts, where the original line-up of Marian Gold, Bernhard Lloyd and Frank Mertens suddenly decided they would rather produce music than paintings or sculptures: “We were absolute beginners with no experience whatsoever.

In line with the do-it-yourself spirit of punk, we looped drum sequences  taken from our records on a two-track machine. (…) We had to resort to that early form of sampling, before the term “sampling” even existed,” recalls Marian Gold. They turned out to be resourceful dilettantes, releasing 3 international hits straight out of the blocks with “Big in Japan”, “Sounds Like A Melody” and “Forever Young” (…) which brought them all the status of a studio band with the greatest possible artistic freedom. “We enjoyed our time in the ivory tower, we gave everything a try and relied on constant musical change.”


Since the mid-nineties, Alphaville have been touring all across the world, while 1996 saw the departure of the last members of the earlier line-up, Ricky Echolette and Bernhard Lloyd. Their positions have since been filled by Britons Martin Lister (keyboards) and David Goodes (guitar) and with the German Jakob Kiersch on drums. The 1997 album “Salvation” witnessed a return to classic Alphaville songs. That was followed in 2000 by live album "Stark Naked" and finally in 2003 by the extravagant web production, “Crazyshow”, the latter giving their worldwide fan community the opportunity to follow the creation of a new album live on the internet, from its initial embryonic beginnings right up to final completion. “We’ve moved on with our sounds since then, written a load of new pieces and have jetted around the globe at least 20 times”, is how Marian Gold sums it up. A new chapter of the Alphaville story is about to start.
