Pankow (Italian band)

Pankow is an Italian/German electronic band, formed in 1982 and headed by Maurizio Fasolo. In its early days, the songs were in German (eg., "Das Wodkachaos"), with singer Alex Spalck. Like the East German band of the same name, Pankow was named for Pankow district of Berlin. They split up in 1993, but released the highly complex but unsuccessful CD "Pankow" in 1996, with Gianluca Becuzzi of Limbo as singer of the all-Italian lyrics. As a result of the lack of success of the 1996 release, the band split up again, and reformed in 2003 with original front man Alex Spalck.
