Bio / info
Klaus Dinger (24 March 1946 – 21 March 2008) was a German musician. He joined Kraftwerk midway through the recording of their first album as a drummer, and stayed on through many shows, though he left before the recording of Kraftwerk 2. He then formed the band Neu! with Michael Rother. La Düsseldorf was formed during a Neu! hiatus, with Dinger switching to guitar, and percussive duties shared by his brother Thomas Dinger and Hans Lampe, though at times the band functioned more as a Klaus Dinger solo project. The group's electronic sound garnered some popularity during the 80s, but the group split amidst much acrimony in 1983, after which Klaus Dinger used variations of the name to avoid legal trouble. After La Düsseldorf, Dinger worked on other projects, sometimes including people he'd worked with in the 70s. Just before his death, he recorded an album with some Japanese musicians who were living in Germany. This was posthumously released as Japandorf.
