Die Kassierer - what is that actually? Nothing more and nothing less than the German flagship punk band with a very unique career:
Dadaistic cabaret performances in the late 80s, the breakthrough and lots of hostility with the invention and establishment of the so-called Ficklied in the 90s, an increasing popularity in all social classes, great popularity at metal festivals and musical accompaniment of whole generations of kids on their way to school in the noughties and nowadays: Regular guest appearances in Wacken, sold-out halls, press articles without end, the awarding of the "Golden Umberto for lifetime achievement" in the TV show "Circus Halligalli" and then the theatre production at the Schauspiel Dortmund in the world's first punk operetta with the poetic name "Häuptling Abendwind".
Besides music, Kassiererfrontman Wölfi has been politically involved for years, in various Bundestag election campaigns, as a member of the city council and as a mayoral candidate for Bochum.
You can step it up a notch, because in 2016 the Kassierer are grabbing the Eurovision Song Contest with their application with their song for Stockholm. They can also do really good Schlager!
