Anja (Xmal Deutschland vocalist) has a solo album coming out, 1st track off it ‘Rabenschwarz’ is out now, I can’t get enough of it.

Also coming out is an album of early Xmal, track pre-released from that is a live variant of Allien, also worth a listen

Enjoy

Re: Anja Huwe
Rabenschwarz translates as Raven Black, German equivalent of Jet Black (I’ve been informed, I don’t speak German)

Re: Anja Huwe

Re: Anja Huwe
I saw them a couple of times on the Dreamtime Tour i think it was when they supported The Stranglers at Wembley and Oxford Apollo. I am sure they are much better than i remember as at the time i thought they sounded like a wailing racket and singing in German obviously didn't help. I never checked them out maybe i should have done i will start by giving this song a listen. They did come across as exciting though.
Re: Anja Huwe
. I saw them at the Apollo in Manchester on the Dreamtime tour and they were excellent. The Apollo was always a graveyard for support bands but they went down a storm. They got the tour because Hugh produced the single matador off the album viva I seem to remember. I my humble opinion the best support band I have seen on a stranglers album tour in the pre 90sThinkTank wrote: ↑03 Feb 2024, 20:40 I saw them a couple of times on the Dreamtime Tour i think it was when they supported The Stranglers at Wembley and Oxford Apollo.

Re: Anja Huwe
Ahh yes you have reminded me about there was a connection with Hugh and the band thanks for reminding me. I seem to remember as well that when i looked for an album from Xmal at the time you couldn't find any vinyl or Cd's from them anywhere in any shop i think that was probably why i never ended up checking them out. I usually always looked in to the support act at all the gigs i used to attend if they spark something in me.MrBlack77 wrote: ↑03 Feb 2024, 21:26.

The best support band i ever saw was The Dylans a very different sort of sound all together but it was back at the time i was getting in to the Manchester rave sound.
Re: Anja Huwe
Just been listening to that link and that was very interesting sound.
Yeah a very enjoyable listen, something different from the usual.

Re: Anja Huwe
Check out xmals albums Excellent very underrated. They also did some excellent peel sessions
Re: Anja Huwe
Wasn't it the 1985 Aural Sculpture tour?
I did meet Anja once when she came over with her art exhibition. We went to see The Damned.

Re: Anja Huwe
Some web sources say they also did some UK Feb/Mar 85 dates. https://www.concertarchives.org/bands/x ... cert-table
I couldn't make the Dreamtime tour but I did make one of the early 1985 Aural gigs and have a vague memory it was Xmal.

Re: Anja Huwe
. If that was the case and they did play some of the Aural gigs you was lucky to see them instead of the tripe I witnessed on the earlier tour datesmarkorbit wrote: ↑04 Feb 2024, 23:58Some web sources say they also did some UK Feb/Mar 85 dates. https://www.concertarchives.org/bands/x ... cert-table
