Scooter have been together as a techno band for 30 years.

The documentary film FCK 2020 - Two and a half years with scooter accompanies the band through their most difficult phase to date: the pandemic.

At the same time you learn a lot about the musicians and especially frontman HP Baxxter.

Wicked or How Much Is the Refund?

What do Scooter and Modern Talking have in common?

Hardly anyone admits to liking their music and yet they have sold millions of records over the decades, scored numerous hits and generated catchy tunes.

The documentary "FCK 2020 - Two and a half years with Scooter" by filmmaker Cordula Kablitz-Post ("Because you only live once - Die Toten Hosen on tour", "Through the night with...") takes 113 minutes to show the Band through a particularly difficult time: the coronavirus pandemic, which brought significant cuts for most musicians or artists (apart from those that existed for everyone anyway).

What is FCK 2020: Two and a half years with Scooter about?

As the documentary name suggests, the cameras are there for two and a half years as perhaps the most popular and long-lived techno act from Europe experiences the pandemic.

Privately, in the studio, when traveling and at the few concerts that can actually take place under difficult conditions during this time.

This is finally worked up with the eponymous track, which hits the mark in the well-known Scooter manner, even if lyrically not everything that HP Baxxter and his colleagues write makes sense... Read whether it's worth turning on you at serial junkies.de.
