Fischer-Z in Freiburg im Breisgau

Fischer-Z is a British new wave and post-punk band formed in 1976 by singer and songwriter John Watts. The group became known through songs including “The Worker,” “So Long,” “Marliese” and “Berlin,” as well as the albums Word Salad, Going Deaf for a Living and Red Skies over Paradise. After reviving the Fischer-Z name for Reveal, Watts led the band at a large open-air concert in East Berlin in 1988 where James Brown also performed. Successive line-ups have since toured European clubs, theatres and festivals under the Fischer-Z name. Fischer-Z has long played extensively in Germany and the Netherlands. The band also performs in Belgium and Austria.
