Die Kleinen und die Bösen is the second album by German electronic music group Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft (DAF), released in 1980. This album marks a significant turning point in DAF's musical style, featuring a transition from the punk and Industrial music of their early work towards a more electronic and dance-oriented sound, which later became their signature style.
The album is notable for being the first-ever released on the renowned Mute Records label. Furthermore, it has a distinctive structure, with the A-side of the album containing studio-recorded tracks, and the B-side consisting of live recordings, a first in their discography. Die Kleinen und die Bösen, translating to "The Small Ones and the Evil Ones", is seen as a pioneering album in the Electronic and Industrial genres.
