Renegade Communications by arrangement with Selective Agency is proud to present Wolfgang Flür (Ex Kraftwerk) - Musik Soldat at The Voodoo Rooms, Edinburgh on Friday 06.09.24. The show includes Kraftwerk masterpieces such as ‘It’s More Fun To Compute’, ‘Pocket Calculator’, ‘Neon Lights’, ‘Cover Girl’, which was a sequel to Kraftwerk’s number one hit ‘The Model’ and also features tracks from his band Yamo (a collaboration with Mouse on Mars) and latest releases such as ‘Eloquence’.
The show is accompanied by mind bending visuals and also comes with touring support Peter Duggal.
A member of Kraftwerk during the group’s golden era, Wolfgang Flür was the band’s electronic percussionist from 1973 to 1987.
Born in Frankfurt, Germany, Flür became the third member of the band in 1973, replacing a drum machine. He was a member of the group from their international breakthrough with the album ‘Autobahn’ (1974) and remained as they experimented with proto techno on albums such as ‘Trans-Europe Express’ (1977) and ‘Computer World’ (1981).
Frustrated with the half-a-decade it took to produce ‘Electric Cafe’ (1986), he left the band after the LP’s release — it wouldn’t be until a 2009 reissue that Flür received an artist credit on the album. In 1997, he launched his solo career under the name Yamo and released ‘Time Pie’, an album that featured work with the experimental duo Mouse on Mars. In 2000, he published his memoir ‘I Was a Robot.’
