Grauzone was a band from Berne, Switzerland that was active and disbanded in the early 1980s. Grauzone is most famous for their 1981 hit “Eisbär”.

Tensions had always been seething regarding the direction of the band and in early 1982 Marco quit as well. In his place, Ingrid Berney (bass) joined Grauzone for what was going to be the band’s last recording session.

“Eisbär” (German for polar bear) is a 1980 “cult” song composed by the Swiss Neue Deutsche Welle band Grauzone. It first appeared on the 1980 compilation album Swiss Wave – The Album. The shorter single version was later collected on the Grauzone album Die Sunrise Tapes (1998) also with G9 Albums Mor-gen and Zukunft.
