Ünlü

Ünlü were a short-lived but influential Turkish-German music group, formed and dissolved in the past due ’90s. Led by brothers Tayfun (acoustic guitar/vocal) and Metmet Ünlü (keyboards), who have been surviving in Germany, these were considered one of the better Turkish rock rings ever. Their usage of the Turkish vocabulary and top-notch creation qualities elevated the pub for additional Turkish bands. Even though the name Ünlü became popular in the past due ’90s, the origins from the music group dated back again to 1981, to the forming of the punk music group Fahrstuhl in Germany. Between 1986 and 1992 these were known as the Lift — that was in fact the British translation of their prior name. Under that name, the music group released an record known as Beneath the Moon, which didn’t garner attention. Afterwards, the Ünlü brothers made a decision to display their early affects: the Turkish Anadolu pop and rock and roll musicians from the ’70s. With a fresh name and talented German studio room music artists — Achim Gschwend (drums), Sven Stichter (guitars), and Rom Heck (bass acoustic guitar) — the debut recording of Ünlü was documented in Germany and Britain. Released both in Germany and Turkey and backed by an intense promotion schedule, Boy Defa became popular in both countries aswell as the others of European countries, where listeners had been hungry for a typical rock audio coupled with Turkish styles. Boy Defa kicked off having a high-octane edition of Erkin Koray’s traditional “Estarabim,” which continues to be seen as a extremely unique and well-made cover music. With the blowing wind of “Estarabim” beneath their wings, Ünlü performed some times in Turkey and toured Germany. Throughout a later on Turkish tour (known as On the Stones), the music group journeyed along the coasts of the united states with AF and then-newcomer Ozlem Tekin. Ünlü continuing surviving in Germany, but as their primary market is at Turkey, expenses had been too much and their income dropped short, even though the Son Defa recording was well received by music artists, critics, and listeners. After a disagreement with Achim Gschwend, the music group parted ways using the drummer who was simply a crucial area of the Ünlü audio. A new program drummer, Ralf Gutske, was employed for the documenting of another record. Following “Kafam” single, the next and last Ünlü record, O Ve Z Hikayesi, premiered in 1998. Darker, slower, and mellower generally, O Ve Z Hikayesi was a disappointment upon initial listen. Even though some from the monitors aged rather well and continuing the brilliance from the debut, the record was somewhat undetected, due in huge part to issues with a Turkish record firm. As the record was an financial failure, the music group known as it per day. Some rumours were noticed around 2007 that Ünlü had been recording new music, but to time none from the material has noticed the light of time.
