in spring 1985, the band toured france for the goethe institute and in autumn they travelled to hungary and poland. in late 1985, trini trimpop moved from drumming for the band into their management, where he worked until 1992. jakob keusen briefly replaced him as the band's drummer before wolfgang rohde (wölli) took over in january 1986. rohde’s first concert was also the band’s first concert in front of a very large audience. along with herbert grönemeyer, udo lindenberg, marius müller-westernhagen, bap, the rodgau monotones and many others, they performed at the anti-waahnsinns-festival in july 1986 to protest the construction of the nearby nuclear reprocessing plant wackersdorf.
