Revolutionary NYC rock quartet Das Damen have returned with a deluxe reissue of their landmark 1986 debut EP, 1986: It Keeps Me Wild. Newly remastered and augmented with an array of previously unreleased demos, reimagined tracks, and a brand-new issue of Das Damen drummer Lyle Hysen’s legendary fanzine, Damaged Goods (featuring a comprehensive timeline, show flyers, oral history, testimonials from Thurston Moore, Tom Scharpling, and more), DAS DAMEN will be released digitally via Dromedary Records on Friday, September 8, and will include a downloadable copy of the zine. A deluxe vinyl edition will be available in October. Pre-saves and pre-orders are available now.

+Thalia Zedek on one song! And they're playing at WFMU next month. Nutty!

I vaguely remember starting this thread, poor Rudolf I hope he's feeling better now. Do Das Damen still have an audience? (did they ever?)

Do Das Damen still have an audience?
I think a few more than Rudolf has.*

(did they ever?)
Definitely in a small pocket of ~15-20 kids in the western suburbs of Chicago, in 1988. Must be more somewhere.

If they came through town on the right night at the right time, I'd go see them now.**

* I have never heard of Rudolf Hecke.
** Weekend, 8pm doors, 9pm show. I'm old now.
