Sheep on a Tree live in DenmarkSheep on a tree in DK

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!

Punks on the move - APPD Demo 1997

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).
