In 1985 they changed their name into Die Suurbiers. Like The Ramones, Die Suurbiers should look like a family clan. So the three called themselves Cäpt'n Suurbier (Michael Wahler, guitar/lead vocals), Hans Suurbier (Hans Runge, bass/background vocals) and Tom Suurbier (Thomas Mindach, drums/background vocals). Many members of Die Suurbiers have left the band to become more popular with other bands. For example Hans Suurbier left to play bass in the band Die Ärzte, Grandmaster Suurbier (Wolfgang "Wölli" Rohde) left for playing drums in Die Toten Hosen and Bum Bum Suurbier (Michael Beckmann) left for The Rainbirds. So the band members have changed over the time. Only the song writer, singer and founder Cäpt'n Suurbier remains untill today. Die Suurbiers never had a long player but some singles and one mini-lp and they never where really successfull.
