rumour goes that ''k.m.f.d.m.'' (a.k.a. ''son of a gun'') stands for "kill mother fuckin' depeche mode", "keep madonna from doing music" or "kylie minogue fans don't masturbate", but that's just a joke, of course. in fact it is an acronym for the nonsensical & grammatically incorrect german phrase ''kein mehrheit für die mitleid" (grammatical play upon words juggling with definite articles). this term can only be loosely translated into english as ''no majority for pity'', but then loses much of its irony. thus the grammatically correct phrase ''kein mitleid für die mehrheit'' (''no pity for the majority'') has emerged & is now in common use, even officially.
active since 1984, ''k.m.f.d.m.'' are pioneers in the crossover between ''techno / dance / industrial dance / e.b.m.'' electronics & ''heavy metal'' guitar samples.
born in germany, but then relocated to the u.s., ''k.m.f.d.m.'' released their first demo tape in 1984 & the first album ''what do you know deutschland?'' in 1986. heads of the band were ''sascha konietzko'' & ''klaus schandelmaier'' (a.k.a. ''en esch''). in 2000, the band has changed their name into ''m.d.f.m.k.'' & tried a contract with a major company. in 2002 they were back as ''k.m.f.d.m.'', but without
''klaus schandelmaier'' as the member of the crew:
01. ''m.d.f.m.k.'' (e.p., 12'' c.d., digipack, 1998)
