What's this club all about?

Before the time six men got together to aquire world fame as the band now known as Rammstein, all of them had been playing in other bands. These bands deserve attention as well, so...

... this club is about the previous bands of the men who are now part of Rammstein.

These bands are...

Feeling B
First Arsch
Die Firma
Orgasm Death Gimmicks
The Inchtabakotables
