About DAF
Artist Biography
Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft ("German American Friendship"), most commonly abbreviated as DAF, represent one of very few direct links between avant-garde punk and techno. Founded as a five-piece industrial noise outfit in Düsseldorf in 1978, DAF ultimately winnowed itself down to a two-man group consisting of vocalist/lyricist Gabi Delgado and drummer/electronic musician Robert Görl. Beginning with 1981's Alles Ist Gut, a major hit in their home country, the duo forged a stripped-down, highly sexualized sound and image which helped lay the groundwork for industrial dance music. The duo occasionally re-formed and produced more overtly techno-influenced material, such as 2003's Fünfzehn Neue DAF Lieder. After Delgado died in 2020, Görl recorded Nur Noch Einer, based on previously unused material from the '80s, and the album was released in 2021.
