Einstürzende Neubauten want to school you in the ways of freaky industrial music this winter. The Germans are coming to the US and Canada for their first North American appearances in six years, in honor of the seminal group’s 30th anniversary. Each date promises a good, old-fashioned music show, but fans will also have the opportunity to experience what’s basically the concert equivalent of Neubauten University. The group is promising Q&A sessions, workshops/lectures about the band’s ties to the Berlin cultural scene from the 80s to the present day, documentaries on the band, films scored by Neubauten members, and films with Neubauten-heavy soundtracks. There will also be photography exhibits and solo work from band members, running the gamut from readings to DJ sets to musical performances. In the immortal words of Missy Elliot, “Go… get your art on.”
