Germany, 1977. The Economic Miracle is at hand. An entire generation that has grown up with the shame of World War II embraces Western culture as Capitalism begins to take root. Underneath the veneer of the financial prosperity, the country is still shattered from the devastation of war. A radical segment of the youth fight back against a repressed nation. Their only  figurehead of this violent, well dressed revolution is a band soon to be forever lost in time; One Model Nation.

From US rock band The Dandy Warhols' frontman Courtney Taylor-Taylor comes a work of historical fiction set in Berlin 1977 during a fascinating period of political and cultural turmoil.

Courtney Taylor-Taylor and Donovan Leitch spent many days and nights both in Los Angeles and Portland creating a fantasy band in their heads. Inspired by Kraftwerk, CAN, David Bowie, Tangerine Dream, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Klaus Nomi, Jobriath, and other esoteric Glam and Kraut Rockers, they got together for three sleepless nights and, along with Jon Fell and Elliott Barnes, created the techno/industrial pop group One Model Nation.

The music took three days, the story took 10 years to finally get to where it is today, a graphic novel and debut album, Totalwerks Vol. 1. Their inspiration was Courtney's vision of creating a band that they could slip into and disappear off into a long forgotten era that inspired so much of today's music.
