  • Tocotronic is a German rock band founded in 1993 (see 1993 in music). Similar to Blumfeld or Die Sterne they are considered a part of the Hamburger Schule (Hamburg School) movement. They are influential for bands such as Wir sind Helden. Tocotronic were signed by L'Age D'Or, a German independent record label situated in Hamburg, in 1994 after quickly gaining popularity in the local scene. Their early style consists of ironic sloganeering ("I want to be part of a youth movement") and almost diary-like songwriting, paired with a lo-fi rock sound with elements of punk rock and grunge. In 1995, they released their debut album Digital ist besser (Digital is better), followed by their second album Nach der verlorenen Zeit (After the Lost Time) only a few months later. Their third album, released in 1996, was the first to hit the German charts. The music became more complex over time, their lyrics less direct, resulting in a sound that was compared to that of Pavement on Tocotronic's 1999 album K.O.O.K. The self-titled "White Album", released in 2002, features dreamlike songs; metaphoric, heavily produced, highly polished, it completes a slow but steady course away from their early works ("eins zu eins ist jetzt vorbei" - "one-to-one is over now"). Despite never being overly commercially successful, Tocotronic have a steady fanbase in Germany and their records are regularly reviewed and acclaimed in mainstream newspapers and music magazines alike. In July 2007, Tocotronic released their eighth studio album, Kapitulation. Also, around this time, the band announced the end of their working relationship with long-time label L'age D'or, and consequently, Kapitulation was released by Vertigo Berlin, a sublabel of Universal music. Their ninth studio album, "Schall & Wahn", was released in January 2010 and became their first number-one record. , was released on 25 January 2013 and Tocotronic (commonly known as "Das Rote Album", or "The Red Album") was released on 1 May 2015. The current band members and positions are Jan Müller (bass), Arne Zank (drums), Dirk von Lowtzow (rhythm guitar, vocals), and, since 2004, Rick McPhail (lead guitar, keyboard). (en)

  • Tocotronic é uma banda de indie rock alemã, fundada em 1993 (ver 1993 na música). Similar ao antiga banda ou a banda , são considerados uma parte do movimento . Eles são influentes para bandas que procuram como Wir sind Helden. Tocotronic assinaram com a "L' Age D' Or", uma gravadora alemã independente situado em Hamburgo, em 1994, depois rapidamente ganhando popularidade na cena local. Seu estilo precoce consiste de slogans irônico ("Eu quero ser parte de um movimento de juventude") e quase-diário como composição, emparelhado com um som de rock lo-fi. Em 1995 eles lançaram seu álbum de estréia "Digital ist besser" (digital é melhor). O terceiro álbum, lançado em 1996, foi o primeiro a bater nas paradas alemãs. A música ficou mais complexo ao longo do tempo, suas letras menos direta, resultando em um som que foi comparada com a do pavimento no álbum Tocotronic de 1999 "K.O.O.K". O auto-intitulado "White Album", lançado em 2002, apresenta canções oníricas, metafóricas, fortemente produzido, altamente polido, que conclui um curso lento, mas constante longe de suas primeiras obras "Eins zu eins ist jetzt vorbei" - (um para-um é mais agora). Desde o início de sua carreira, a marca registada do Tocotronic tem sido se reinventar constantemente. Claro que isso também se aplica ao novo álbum Wie wir leben wollen ("Como queremos viver"). Depois do pounk á moda do folclore vienense, elegias intermináveis e rock puro e simples, o novo CD foi realizado segundo regras autoimpostas: as gravações deviam ser produzidas inteiramente à maneira dos primeiros álbuns conceituais pop, em formato analógico e fitas magnéticas de apenas quatro pistas – ao invés de 48 ou mais canais digitais, como é comum hoje em dia. Querem fazer um determinado tipo de pop psicadélico, tresloucado, lúdico. Por isso gravaram o álbum, "em princípio, da mesma forma que os Beatles, os Beach Boys ou os Zombies". Os membros da banda são atuais e posições Jan Müller (baixo), Arne Zank (bateria), Dirk von Lowtzow (guitarra, vocais) e, desde 2004, Rick McPhail (guitarra, teclado). (pt)
  • Tocotronic — немецкая инди-рок-группа, образованная в 1993 году в Гамбурге. В жанровом плане, музыку группы можно отнести к инди-року, пост-панку, в меньшей мере к арт-року. Группу часто причисляют к так называемой «гамбургской школе» инди-рока. Сама группа иронично относится к такого плана категоризации, о чем свидетельствует текст песни Ich bin neu in der Hamburger Schule (с нем. — «Я новичок в гамбургской школе»). Названия группы позаимствовано у игровой консоли, предшественницы Gameboy. (ru)
