Overview
- Keimzeit unveiled its 14th album, Ach, die Menschen, at a record-release event in Leipzig and will play about 40 concerts across Germany this year.
- Singer Norbert Leisegang, 65, says he has no plan to stop performing and describes writing songs as what keeps him going.
- He accepts that many people know the band for the 1993 hit Kling Klang yet says the group is not defined by a single track.
- The band still plays Kling Klang at almost every show, and Leisegang calls its appeal a mystery after writing the lyrics to simply sound good and be easy to sing.
- The song first resonated with a generation in eastern Germany, helping the Brandenburg group sustain a career that now spans more than three decades.
