Nina Hagen


Nina Hagen is an 80's German sex bomb. Labelled the 'Mother of Punk', she was into public discussions of God, UFO's, animal rights, and vivisections, and once appeared on an Austrian talk show explicitly simulating masturbation.
According to reviewer Fritz Rumler,
she thrusts herself into the music, aggressively, directly, furiously, roars in the most beautiful opera alto, then, through shrieks and squeals, precipitates into luminous soprano heights, she parodies, satirises, and howls on stage like a dervishMy favourite song of hers is the punk/funk/opera 'New York New York'. She goes CRAZY on stage - but even if you never get a chance to see live footage of her you can hear the wildness in her songs. Her voice actually shows you all those fantastic facial movements she makes.
