Mona Mur

Mona Mur is a German vocalist - born Sabine Bredy in Hamburg to Polish parents, 1960, who first graced the music scene in 1982. In her quest for the angry sound of her times she soon hooked up with FM Einheit, Marc Chung and Alex Hacke of Einstürzende Neubauten. Together with Einheit, Hacke, organ virtuoso Nikko Weidemann ("Flucht nach Vorn"), bassist Th. Stern ("Crime and the City Solution") and Siewert Johannsen ("Stricher") she started a new incarnation of Mona Mur in 1985, playing many concerts in the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Bremen (with "Sonic Youth") and Berlin - foundation stones for her cult image until today.
