Kraftwerk

Kraftwerk is a band that produces experimental and electronic music. The band originated in Germany in the 1970's. The music that Kraftwerk experiments with includes very repetitive rhythms, much like other disco music in the 70's that influenced the house and dub step music later on. Kraftwerk was known to revolutionize the world of electronic music, as they were one of the first bands in the world to experiment with such a radical style of music. They are very influential on not only many bands today, but also many styles of music that are popular in the clubs today. I visited Kraftwerk's website, and like their music, the design of their website was also very robotic and pixelized. Surprisingly, Kraftwerk is still touring today. Not only are their music and website very robotic, after watching a couple of their music videos, I've discovered that they perform in a very robotic manner. I appreciate a band that fully stands behind an image, from their design aspects to their live performances.
