Moti Special

Moti Special was a West German new wave band, formed in 1981 in Hamburg, by Danish guitar player Nils Tuxen, German-Romanian keyboardist Michael Cretu, bassist/vocalist Manfred "Thissy" Thiers, and drummer Reinhard "Dickie" Tarrach, all of whom had previous experience as session musicians. Thiers decided on the name of the band after visiting an Indian restaurant in London together with German-Israeli artist Moti Argaman, where they had the "special" (extra spicy) dish of the house.
