The Nomi Song
by Alysson Gothz

One of the most bizarre, and yet most fascinating names of the New Wave scene has now its own tribute documentary.
"The Nomi Song" is a wonderful homage to Klaus Nomi, the German-born opera singer who got into New York's effervescent underground scene after being a back-up singer for Bowie and performing in venues like the Max's Kansas City. With a great look and innovative performances, Nomi released two official records and became a cult artist in the early 80's before dying of AIDS related illness.
Premiered on February 6th, "The Nomi Song" won a Teddy Award as the Best German Documentary of 2004, and can be watched in alternative film festivals worldwide.
