November 1979 in a small pub in London: Peter Hein and Thomas Schwebel were watching a gig of “The Teardrop Explodes”. TwoTone, a special kind of Ska music genre, was en vogue (and also driven by a label with a very similar name). Soon they decided to introduce this kind of music to Western Germany. “Fehlfarben” was born.

February 2006: After they realized that they completely forgot to officially celebrate their 25th anniversary “Fehlfarben” decided to launch a “Geburtstag vergessen” tour across Germany. They started this year’s tour with an exclusive radio session on Austrian radio FM4.
