Pionier Seriös

Pionier Seriös was a Neue Deutsche Welle band formed in Berlin. Members were Jürgen Baldiga (vocals, lyrics, drum machine), Eschi Rehm (analog synthesizer), member of Die Gesunden and Zazie Und Ihre Freunde, and founder of Warmer Südwind, German rock band from the late 1970s consisting, besides of Eschi Rehm, of Reiner Borchert and Bent Jacobsen, with LP 'Schwul' as their only album in 1977 with Trikont. The lyrics, written by Eschi Rehm and Reinhard von der Marwitz, openly address the homosexuality of the band members and their self-image as gays, which is why Warmer Südwind are considered the first gay rock band in Germany.  

 

Other members were Mabel Aschenneller (synthesizer, Farfisa), real name Klaus-Michael Aschenneller and member also of Die Gesunden, Transplantis and Zazie Und Ihre Freunde; and Thomas Wydler (drums), Swiss musician, born 9 October 1959 in Zurich, Switzerland and member of Alert!, Die Gesunden, Die Haut, Die Unbekannten, Kraft Durch Freude, Mutterfreuden, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Sultans Of Gedankenbrain, Tanger Trio, The Moron Tabernacle Choir and The Notorious Heffel Bros.
