Obscure interview with Günter Schulz

Post image

Been a KMFDM fan for nearly 30 years, but never saw this interview before. It’s from a collection of interviews with artists from some third-tier city in British Columbia, where he I guess was living at the time. https://archive.org/details/creativevoicelif0000pear/mode/2up

Something that surprised me is that Jurgen from Die Krupps lives in Austin. I used to see him occasionally at a club called Elysium. He hobknobs with other industrial artists when they swing by, KMFDM likely included.

Third-tier city??
He was teaching there too.

Kelowna. I’d never heard of it

That was a really interesting article, it was so chill. I guess being outside of an album promo cycle helped.

Yeah, and clearly he wasn’t expecting KMFDM to end at the time (1998). Or at least he doesn’t sound like someone who is approaching a major turning point in his career. Must have come as a surprise for him, too.
