The band was founded in 1985 by Sven Regener who subsequently became known as the author of the books Herr Lehmann (2001) (English title Berlin Blues), Neue Vahr Süd (2004) and Der kleine Bruder (2008) and as the screenplay writer of the film adaptation of Herr Lehmann (2003).
Regener sings and plays guitar, trumpet, accordion and piano. While various members of the band contribute music to the songs, Regener writes most of the lyrics – in English for the first few albums and then in German. The band's name is borrowed from the title of the movie The Element of Crime by Lars von Trier.
