Cassiber
1982Christoph Anders, Chris Cutler, Alfred Harth (bis Mitte 1985), Heiner Goebbels
Cassiber performed from 1982 until 1992 and did extended touring within Europe, but also in Southamerica, USA, Japan a.m.o.
Here is the reconstruction of the perfomance dates from Chris Cutler's archive, this seems to be pretty complete; under "past dates! the performances in the first years are missing. Sorry about that.
In the months before the collaboration with Chris Cutler was established during the recording sessions in august '82 - and before the name CASSIBER had been found, there were a small number of pre-Cassiber concerts (mostly unnamed) together with drummer Peter Prochir:
