Bernd Noske
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bernd "Nossi" Noske (17 August 1946 – 18 February 2014) was a German musician. He is best known as the singer and drummer of the progressive rock band Birth Control.[1]
In 1999, he released a solo album, Come Out at Night.[1]
At the age of nine Noske sang in the school choir and played drums in the school theatre. 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. In 1993 the band reformed and was active again. In 1999 Noske released the solo album Come out at Night, which he had already recorded in 1978/79.
