Classic early 80s Berlin underground recording of Die Haut and Nick Cave.

On a cold December morning in 1982 in Aachen, Germany, a young band from Berlin loaded their equip- ment into a dark recording studio called Studio West. The dual-guitar fronted instrumental group unleashed seven songs with razor-sharp ferocity and concentration. Their name was Die Haut (The Skin). Four songs were specifically for a young Australian singer they had met earlier that year and had invited to perform as guest vocalist and writer. Nick Cave was already becoming internationally recognized as an unforgettable performer and prolific artist with his band The Birthday Party. Die Haut were a group of young musicians who had relocated to Berlin, determined to make their own mark in its thriving 1980s underground music scene. Together that is exactly what they did.
