Fehlfarben drummer Uwe Bauer has passed away

June 05, 2023

In 1977, Uwe Bauer saw The Clash and the Boomtown Rats perform. That simply blew him away. Back in Wuppertal, where he lived at the time, drastic changes were afoot. First: hair off. Second: everything that had happened in the past was now crap. Third: finally buying a drum kit and start performing. And that even though he had no clue at all about making music. It was a liberation.

Uwe Bauer, a machine on the drums, once in the groove - he was unstoppable! 

With Fehlfarben Uwe drummed on "Monarchie & Alltag", "33 Tage in Ketten", "Glut und Asche" and "Die Platte Des Himmlischen Friedens"!

He was the backbone of so much good music, a drummer who was always put the band first.

We will all miss him and wish his children all the strength in this difficult time.
