One day in 1985, The Young Gods started in Fribourg, and Franz Treichler was their heart and soul, right from the first beat. Before long, they were being talked about by the likes of David Bowie and U2. Today he has turned to dance and cinema, for example by creating musical illustrations for old Dada films.
