Band history

Element of Crime httpsimgdiscogscomHKkEc8U2vConfhT9VK6wTVTYh

The band was founded in 1985 by Sven Regener who later became known as the author of the books “Herr Lehmann” (2001) (English title “Berlin Blues”), “Neue Vahr Süd” (2004) and “Der kleine Bruder” (2008) and as the screenplay writer of the film adaptation of “Herr Lehmann”. Regener sings and plays guitar, trumpet, accordion and piano. The band's name was borrowed from the title of the movie “The Element of Crime” by Lars von Trier.
