Einstürzende Neubauten to Celebrate 30 Years with North American Tour

• Words: Patric Fallon

A veritable institution in Berlin's experimental scene, Einstürzende Neubauten has been carrying the torch of leftfield industrial and avant-garde music for 30 years now, and this December, they will celebrate those three decades with a string of performances in five North American cities. Each stop will be split into two days' worth of events: One day will be a full-length retrospective performance by the entire quintet, and the other will be a day of interactions with the band in the form of a Q&A, workshops, lectures, solo performances, a photo exhibit, and film viewings. They might as well call it Neubauten-stock, or something. You can get more detailed info and purchase tickets to the events here, and check out the list of tour dates below.
