Born out of the Hootenanny Club and the Singebewegung (Singing Movement) Oktoberklub was a political activist's song group in the GDR (German Democratic Republic/ East Germany). The band derives its name from the october revolution and establishment of the GDR.
Oktoberklub (also Oktober-Klub) sang international political songs (partially in Nachdichtungen), self-creations as well as traditional people and combat songs.. Apart from normal song evenings with mixed repertoire it led also revue-like arranged programs starting from 1971. Its musical style was a mixture of German Chanson, Folk and Rock music.
It was created 1966 and existed until 1990
.
Indie, experimental, ambient, no single label accurately describes the music created by Oktober People. Their live shows ebb and swell with miraculous unpredictability-one minute you're swooning in melodic bliss, the next you're blindsided by sheets of razor-sharp guitar and bombastic rhythms.
