Krautrock

Post by Vince »

So after our gig on Sunday, someone said I should listen to Faust and other Krautrock bands.

I've started, but I still don't really get what Krautrock IS. Offhand, it seems to be 70s bands from Germany playing a mix of hippie shit, synth loops and generally being a bit edgy. But there's probably more to it than that

(and yes, cheers, I can look up the Wikipedia article, too)

Are there any Wellington bands that would classify as Krautrock? Ideally, it would be good to gig together.
"Vince, have you ever tried playing an expensive bass?" - Polarbear.
"And isn't that the finest acoustic bass guitar feedback solo you've ever heard?" - Billy Moose.

Really? I didn't think they'd be hypnotic enough.

Bit out of our league though :lol:

Yeah, maybe when you get a bit bigger lol...
I think at his age, Vince has done all his growing. :P
