Artist Biography
Available in:

The band was founded around the end of 1978, when they began their career as part of the Neue Deutsche Welle. Their music is not typical of the NDW genre. It was influenced heavily by western rock music, and their lyrics were often critical of politics and society. The members viewed themselves as punks, whose only association with the NDW was the fact that they appeared at the same time. As testament to that they wrote on their Homepage: "Ja wir haben den Scheiß eben mitgemacht!" (Yeah, we went along with that shit).
The highlight of their career was seen from 1981 until 1983, as they played for sold out crowds, had records go Gold and were pictured on the cover of BRAVO. After two band members left the group in 1983 they released two albums; Europa and LP der Woche. After a creative break until 1987, the band returned with an album that was heavily influenced by The Cure. In the 90's Extrabreit moved onto writing lyrics highly critical of society and full of sharp sarcasm. Their new work did not enjoy the same commercial success of their earlier albums. After their 'Final concert' in Hagen on the 19th September, 1998, the group went on to play in Bochum in 2002 and are currently touring Germany.
Extrabreit played their 1000th concert on the 27th August, 2005 to several thousand fans in Hengsteysee in Hagen. The Band was presented with their first Platinum record for their first major success in 1980.
