Antilopen Gang was founded in 2009 by the rappers Danger Dan, Koljah, NMZS and Panik Panzer. In interviews about the band's name the rappers have given several ironic answers, such as having an inspiring dinner at a restaurant that contained antilope meat as well as personal experiences as boy scouts.
Their first album Spastik Desaster was released at the turn of the year 2009/2010 as a free download, and the group gained national popularity through the song Fick die Uni, which was followed by solo albums by several members.
NMZS committed suicide in March 2013. His fellow group members posthumously released his solo album Der Ekelhafte.
In 2014, Antilopen Gang signed a contract with the label JKP of the popular German punk band Die Toten Hosen. In October 2014 the Single Beate Zschäpe hört U2 was released, criticizing the phenomenon of right-wing extremism in Germany.

Oktober in Europa (2024)
