1997
Picture 1: Sheep on a Tree, Kolding (DK), ca. 1997 (Haake, Witte) - Picture 2: Sheep on a tree - same show (Peter (g), Thorsten (d), Harke (v), Pohl (b), Abi (g))
Nice shot from old-old-old punk Witte who did play and continues to play the Hamburg Punk circut - in incarnations like Napalm, Noise Annoys, Ramonez77, Witte Expirience, The Punkles (covering Beatles songs). He even sold a song to the famous punk band "Die Ärzte" from Berlin. If you make a family tree for all the punk bands from Hamburg - his name will appear at least a hundred times... Haake himself did play in so many incarnations of so many bands -- i can not recall all!
Picture 3: Roh X-mas party at the Marquee, Hamburg 1997
Again famous faces on here: Jens (aka Jason, former Platzangst, Public Enemy 23, Rubbermaids etc.), Lotto King Karl, Dirk Jora (aka Dicken, former Slime singer), Brabel and Gagu and others.

Picture 5: Punks on APPD Demo, Hamburg 1997
The APPD (Anarchists Pogo Party Germany) did enter the local Hamburg Election as they have secured a big supporting block in the local punk community as a cool joke. And, hey, in one sub-destrict of Hamburg they were the party with the 3rd most voters! Hurray!
Picture 6: Heimatglück (Jana , Coco , Felix)
at the "Rote Flora"
Picture 7: Said & Done at the "Rote Flora"
Here you can see Olli singing and Mull
(Gartenzwerg Fanzine) standing by the stage and looking ... bored?
Picture 8: Panzerkreuzer Polpotkin
at the "Startloch" in Hamburg-Rahlstedt
Jan (bass) also plays in "Antikörper".
This is way out of city center venue, but a typical local small show
(and keep in mind, Hamburg is made out of multiple small towns, effectively).
