Ausserhalb

Ausserhalb was a West Berlin lesbian new-wave band active from 1978 to 1983 and formed by members Tina Thürmer-Rohr (piano, organ, synthesizer, vocals), Margaret Diehl (saxophone, vocals), Melanie Beyer (guitar, bass), Hucky Porzner (drums) and Yatzuba (bass). They released one sole album, ‘Rock Experimentell’, recorded between 21st and 26th of May and 11th and 12th of September 1983 at Tonstudio Funk Berlin West, firmly in the dark NDW tradition with rollicking rhythmic lines colliding with each other and dispassionate female vocals engaging into some kind of doomy soliloquy on top of that.
