For a select group of regular concertgoers, the Osnabrück-based band Doctorhood is considered an underground institution. Yet the band regularly remains below the radar of the press and media, siloedly interweaving current events and world history into breakneck, cynical, sometimes seemingly radical performances.
Doctorhood describes itself as a living sub-subculture. Since 1994, it has pursued a genre-independent, eclectic approach. Various musical styles are integrated into the band's sound: From depressive singer-songwriter scenarios to grindcore, punk, progressive rock, and country, Doctorhood employs a variety of stylistic devices necessary for the thematic implementation of its song themes.
The rare live performances are each unique. Interludes and performance elements take place only once. Often, one hears about these performances only through word of mouth. Or through passing notes. The audience is always interactively involved in the concert, often being pelted with "Kladüsen" (clapperboards), which visually support the verbal contributions shouted into the audience. In keeping with a very old rock 'n' roll tradition, the venues are usually left—well, let's say—a bit messy due to the pelting with "Kladüsen." Rock 'n' roll, after all.
After four albums by the band, none of which were intended for sale, the fifth Doctorhood album, “Autopilot,” will be available for the first time in stores.
