Live At Rockpalast 1980

In November 1987, the New Wave Band Hans-à-Plast, which consisted of two couples, had their first gig at the first No-Fun-Festival in a small youth centre in Hannover.

They had started out as an anti-nuclear song group that agitated passersby in pedestrian areas, but they were fed up by the pointless discussions at university.

In a short amount of time, Annette Benjamin learned all their repertoire. They had known her from her band Schleim, which also had a gig at the aforementioned festival.

With Annette, the band had a singer that not only resonated with the audience but also with Alfred Hilsberg, who booked them twice for his festivals at the Markthalle and additionally said the following about her in the music magazine Sounds: "Annette is the best of all the new bands. She has the kind of energy with which she can destroy you with just her voice."
