Concert at Bizarre-Festivals

In 1996 WIZO gave a concert at the Bizarre-Festivals in Cologne in front of 35,000 people. This concert was broadcast by MTV and the WDR . When the band asked the producer and cameramen not to block the view of the audience, as they had done for NOFX, filming was stopped. Kurth and Genserowski damaged some of the cameras. Axel has said that the band was sued over this incident, and this is the reason that they no longer play large festival shows. In 1996, WIZO’s lineup also changed; Ingo Hahn replaced their long-standing drummer, Charly Zasko, and he and Axel “are fortunately no longer in contact.” The single Doof wie Scheiße (English translation: “Dumb as Shit”) was recorded with Ingo before he left the band.
