Nach der Gründung am 26. April 79 spielten wir während der ersten Bandphase („Autobahn“/“RCA“ Label) nicht nur in den angesagten Münchner Clubs Domicile, Rigan-Club (wo wir u.a. mit B52, Nina Hagen, Herman Brod die Bühne teilten), Whynot oder Marienkäfer, sondern auch in den bekannten Clubs Onkel Pö Hamburg, Rote Fabrik Zürich und natürlich auch im Wiener U4, bis hin zur ausverkauften Münchner Olympiahalle beim WOM-Festival.
Die gemischtsprachigen Texte waren und sind politisch brisant bis satirisch. „Eine der heißesten Bands zur Zeit“, jubelten Bravo und New Musical Express.
In München und London trafen wir damals auf Bands wie DAF, Soft Cell, Stray Cats, Heaven 17, Trio, The Slits, Malcom McLaren et.cetera.
Dann verschwanden wir von der Bühne.
Jetzt sind wir wieder zurück, mit der Band-Phase Nr.II und bringen Hits wie „Sayonara“, „In leeren Räumen“ und neue Songs im typischen INTIMSPRAY-SOUND auf die Bühne.

(Postpunk / Wien / Österreich)
Since 2016 Maren Rahmann (voice) and Didi Disko (electronics, guitar, voice) have dedicated themselves to postpunk in its broadest definition. The focus is by no means on longing for the sound of a bygone decade. Rather, the energy of punk,their own anger and turmoil about the state of the world is taken to create a diverse
musical hybrid with relevance in the here and now. The urgent questions of the present and the future are inscribed in the songs and the sound. Electrobeats meet guitar feedback, harmonic hooklines are torn apart by noise and field recordings. Despite all the experimentation, the music has an energetic intensity that invites you to dance.
Seit 2016 haben sich Maren Rahmann (Stimme) und Didi Disko (Elektronik, Gitarre, Stimme) dem Postpunk in seiner weitesten Definition verschrieben. Im Vordergrund steht keineswegs die Sehnsucht nach dem Sound einer vergangenen Dekade.
Vielmehr wird die Energie des Punks, die eigene Wut und Zerrissenheit über den Zustand der Welt genommen, um daraus einen vielfältigen musikalischen Hybrid mit Aktualität im Hier und Jetzt zu erschaffen.
Dringliche Fragen der Gegenwart und Zukunft sind den Songs und dem Sound eingeschrieben.
Electrobeats treffen auf Gitarrenfeedback, harmonische Hooklines werden von Noise und Fieldrecordings zerrissen.
Bei allem Experiment ist die Musik von einerenergiegeladenen Intensität, die zum Tanzen einlädt.
