Die Toten Hosen – introduction

Die Toten Hosen is a German punk band from Düsseldorf. They have enjoyed decades-long mass appeal in Germany.

The band’s name literally means “The Dead Pants” (i.e. trousers) in English, although the phrase “tote Hose” is a German expression meaning “nothing going on” or “boring”. Their name is figuratively best translated as “The Deadbeats”.
