Bernd Noske

After school he worked as a packer and truck driver until he started his career as a musician.

His first band "The Odd Persons" gave concerts in West Germany and performed at the Hamburg Starclub.

In 1969, as successor of Hugo Egon Balder, he joined the band Birth Control, with whom he performed as a constant member and frontman until 2014.

When songwriter and musician Bruno Frenzel died in 1983, in late effects by an electric shock he received on stage during a common gig in 1975, Noske dissolved the band and played with Hardbeats, Mr. Goodtrip and Lilly & the Rockets.

This was essentially characterised by drum passages that Noske played on timbales using maracas.
