About Calva Y Nada
Calva Y Nada is a German electro project founded in 1990 by singer and programmer Constantin Warter, better known as Breñal. The band name, Spanish for “baldness and nothing,” references Warter’s earlier project Glatze des Willens and the philosophical work L’être et le néant by Jean-Paul Sartre.
During the early 1990s the live line-up included keyboardist Martin Tessarek (“Tessi”) and drummer Tom Steinseifer (“Le Puce”), with Peter Augustat briefly handling bass duties in 1992, before all three were replaced by keyboard player Stefan Müter, also active in Cyan Kills E.Coli. Stylistically the group offers a mix of electro and gothic, with Breñal’s untreated but dark vocal delivery and lyrics alternating between German and Spanish.
The core Calva Y Nada album cycle ran throughout the 1990s, beginning with “El Peste Perverso Lleva Mi Peluca” (1990) and “Dias Felizes” (1991), followed by “Monolog” (maxi-CD, 1993), “Monologe eines Baumes” (1993), the mini-CD “Die Katze im Sack” (1994), “Palpita, Corazón, Palpita” (1994), the maxi-CD “Finstere Zeit” (1996), full album “Das Böse macht ein freundliches Gesicht” (1996) and “Schlaf” (1998).
From the mid-2010s onward, Emmobiz began an extensive reissue campaign of this catalog. The 1994 album “Palpita, Corazón, Palpita” returned in several configurations, followed by a 2CD edition of “Das Böse macht ein freundliches Gesicht” with a full disc of live bonus material and a new edition of “Schlaf” including a very limited 2CD set. In 2024 Emmobiz launched a series of Calva Y Nada vinyl picture discs, starting with debut album “El Peste Perverso Lleva Mi Peluca“, and later announced a mega-limited reissue of “Dias Felizes” on LP.
Live the band returned in the 2020s, including a comeback at Amphi Festival 2023 and a show at the 16th Elektrisch Festival in October 2024 at Club Seilerstrasse in Zwickau. The sold-out 2024 concert at Club Seilerstrasse was later announced as “Live @ Club Seilerstrasse Zwickau“, a double-vinyl release issued on March 14, 2025, featuring the then unreleased tracks “Rotes Meer” and “La Pura Mierda”.
The reissue cycle continued into 2025 with a first-time vinyl edition of “Monologe eines Baumes“, available as a double picture-disc LP in a gatefold sleeve with wood-scented varnish and additional limited sets.
The “La Pura Mierda” EP marks the first new studio track credited to the project since the 1998 album “Schlaf”, expanding a song first heard live at the 16th Elektrisch Festival into a full remix release with contributions from Accessory, Marc2U (Sabotage Q.C.Q.C.?), Supreme Court, Soman and In Strict Confidence, plus a new version of “Rascheln”.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
