Frau Siebenrock Combo

Frau Siebenrock Combo was a Neue Deutsche Welle and Minimal Wave band formed by Rene Calvetti (Lemmy Und Die Schmöker), Leffy Leffringhausen (co-founder of Das Cassetten Combinat and co-owner of Combinatsstudio), and Charlotte Siebenrock. Their sole release was the cassette 'Zäh Wie Gold' in 1981 on Das Cassetten Combinat, a very shortlived but influencial german cassette label, production company (O.U.T. Production), studio (Combinatsstudio) and shop from West Berlin, run mostly by the Kiddy Citny and Leffy Leffringhausen in 1981, but also sometimes by other members of Ohne Unter Titel. In 1980 Leffy bought a Teac 144 4-track recorder and they obtained the sound padding, when the West Berlin club "Excess" closed. Soon after the opened their 30 square meters basement studio. Everybody could record there for just 100 DM per day. Interested artists could have their work published, promoted and distributed via their label. In the tiny shop they also sold selected other tape releases, e.g. the work of Klar! 80. Their shop closed in early 1982, so did the label. In 1982 it was reformed as Das Cassettencombinat by Thomas Schmitt and Thomas Scholz, both members of T.A.S.S. II.
