A singer, songwriter, drummer, and veteran of Germany's new wave scene, Austrian native Herwig Mitteregger began his musical career in Berlin, playing in <a href="spotify:artist:7xZHrltZh8zIRvjimgABvj">Nina Hagen</a>'s backing band. Two albums with <a href="spotify:artist:7xZHrltZh8zIRvjimgABvj">Hagen</a> and the band broke away in 1980, citing the singer's "bossiness" and becoming the good-timing <a href="spotify:artist:47U0ujLT2qD3wSOGl5WDth">Spliff</a>. He took a break from <a href="spotify:artist:47U0ujLT2qD3wSOGl5WDth">Spliff</a> in 1983 to release his solo debut, Kein Mut -- Kein Mädchen, an album he wrote, produced, and performed entirely on his own. Soundtrack work for Uwe Friesner's feature film Baby and more work with <a href="spotify:artist:47U0ujLT2qD3wSOGl5WDth">Spliff</a> followed, but when their record company refused to release a 1986 full-length from the band, they split for good. As Mitteregger's solo work continued he became increasingly disillusioned with the music industry and their promotion of his work. In the mid-'90s he quietly moved to Spain and has only recorded for others and sporadically. One of his most high-profile post-retirement appearances came in 2005 when he joined multi-instrumentalist <a href="spotify:artist:3nA04VJY6xWLU1hiXOqPk6">Knutson</a> for the single "Marie-Johanna," a dancefloor interpolation of the old <a href="spotify:artist:47U0ujLT2qD3wSOGl5WDth">Spliff</a> hit "Carbonara." ~ David Jeffries
