Band history[]
After a split single with , released on Rewika Records in 2003, the first album Das ist nicht mein Problem followed in 2004, released on ZickZack records.[1] Saalschutz combines electronic dance music with mostly German, sometimes English and seldom French or Swiss German lyrics which often have dadaistic characteristics. It combines the styles of Synthpop, Electropunk and Electroclash – as well as Metal, Garage Rock, Tribal House and Trance – creating a style similar to that of Knarf Rellöm, and (in parts) Egotronic. In 2006, the second regular album Saalschutz machts möglich was released on ZickZack and Audiolith Records.[2] (meaning "Saalschutz makes it possible") After touring extensively, the band released their third album Entweder Saalschutz in November 2010.[3]
