Failed Teachers – The Sedel Homecoming Party
“Failed Teachers,” the minimal-punk band with the maximal hits, have been a true Sedel band for 25 years.
This is where they were born as a rowdy duo; this is where they grew up and came of age. Here they burned all their equipment on the forecourt, called the legendary Black Lips “hippies” and chased them off the stage, recorded a live spoken-word album, and have been storing their instruments—uh, their junk—in one of the cells for years. So the shock and disappointment in our house were all the greater when the self-proclaimed Sons of the Sedel launched their brand-new album “We hate everything you adore!” last spring—of all places—at the Schüür!
After we threatened various measures to punish this sacrilege, they’ve now brought themselves to apologize for this faux pas. On the Sedel stage. In full view and hearing of everyone. To that end, El Padre and Turbowolf will, remorseful and humble, fire off a set of their greatest anthems into the crowd, shed tears, beer, and blood, and finally commit musical harakiri. In the faint hope of forgiveness.
They will be joined at their big homecoming party by the up-and-coming anarcho-punk band “Tierli im Wald.” Unlike the Teachers—spoiled by prosperity and pampered by success—these at least still know that punk rock must not only be anti-fascist, diverse, and radical, but also loyal to its own scene.
With that in mind: Fuck the Teachers! Hail to the Sedel!
