Stephan Remmler, Gert 'Kralle' Krawinkel and Peter Behrens formed Trio in 1980. They used the term 'Neue Deutsche Fröhlichkeit' ('New German cheerfulness') to describe their music. Their main principle was to remove almost all the ornamentation and polish from their songs, and to use the simplest practical structures (most of their songs were three chord songs).
Their most popular song was 'Da da da', which reached number 2 in the UK singles chart and number 7 in the Dutch Top 40. Cover versions were recorded by Elastica and Christina Aguilera (for a Pepsi ad).
