German Band from Bielefeld.
Several sessions with the Johannislust Orchester led to the foundation of Black Ass in 1978.
In late 1978 their first and and only 7" self-release "Hot Lips Hot Hips / Teenage Desaster" was pressed in an edition of 1000.
Due to the high fees of the GEMA it wasn`t played on German radio but had some radio-broadcastings in Spain.
