Tyskarna från Lund is a Swedish synthpop group, consisting of members from the comedy group Varanteatern. The name translates to “The Germans from Lund” in English (the Swedish town of Lund is the home of Varanteatern).
Tyskarna från Lund is a satirical group that makes fun of the stereotypical synth music artist and their followers, in particular Kraftwerk. Like the latter group, TFL has a four-person line-up of (fictional) Germans, always dressed in black and with minimal movements on stage. The act started as a recurring sketch in Varanteaterns shows, most notably in their TV series Varan-tv. The act was popular, and later became a regular group with single and album releases. |
