About
Ötzel Band is a cassette-based record label with roots in the German underground music scene of the early 1980s. The label documented live performances from the experimental and industrial music community, as evidenced by its release of Live In Rastatt 11.07.81, a cassette recording capturing the era's grassroots performance culture. Ötzel Band represents the DIY ethos characteristic of European underground labels during this period, prioritizing documentation of live events over commercial distribution.
