Trio were a German band formed in the small German town of Großenkneten in 1980. The band are most noted for the song "Da da da, ich lieb dich nicht, du liebst mich nicht, aha aha aha" (usually simply "Da Da Da") which was a hit in 30 countries worldwide.
The Band were a support act for Duran Duran in 1984.
Background information[]
A minimalist German outfit responsible for a number one hit across Europe in 1982, Trio used little more than guitar and drums to frame their monotoned vocals and industrial-based songs.
The band's self-titled 1981 debut album originally appeared only in their native country, but the following years their single "Da Da Da" reached #2 on the UK Singles Chart and sold a million copies. The UK's Mobile Suit Corporation re-released the album with a version of the single.
Trio released a cassette-only live album in 1982, and signed to Mercury in the USA, where their first release was another self-titled work, though only of EP length. It also included "Da Da Da," and set the stage for 1983's Trio & Error, which had a version of "Da Da Da" as well.
Finally, in 1983, Trio released an album without a version of their most famous track, and Bye Bye proved quite prophetic.
