Ulla Meinecke was the lead singer of the German rock band that shared her name. The group formed in 1984 with guitarist Uwe Hassbecker, and their sound had a punk edge that found an audience in East Germany. Their 1993 single '50 Tips' became a breakthrough track, known for its catchy melody.
After the Berlin Wall fell, the band's circumstances changed. In 1999, Meinecke was dismissed from the group following a dispute with Hassbecker. She later formed a new project called Ulla Meinecke & Band. Other songs from her catalog include 'Zauberformel' and 'Auf Wiedersehen, Tiger'.
The original lineup included Ulla Meinecke on vocals, Uwe Hassbecker on guitar, Thomas Meinecke on bass, and Stefan Meinecke on drums. Their discography includes albums like 'Ulla Meinecke' from 1985 and 'Die totale Therapie' from 1988.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
