zosodude13 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) Frumpy- Bluesy Prog Rock Faust- Very avant-garde, but influential too. Had a song called "Krautrock" that gave the genre it's label. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oepHLeTG92s Edited February 4, 2011 by zosodude13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zosodude13 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Can- Similar to Faust. Very avant-garde and minimalist. But they're smoother around the edges. Kraftwerk- Came to define the sound of "krautrock" and electronic music. If you're into rap/hip-hop, they were frequently sampled and used in the early years. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hitRhTAGXDA The Monks- Technically made of American G.I.s based in Germany, but described as the "ultimate punk band" for their simplicity and 'I'm pissed at everybody' mentality.

Rock N' Rollin' Man Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Germany has offered many good bands especially in the early 70's with the krautrock scene. About Krautrock I posted this thread with BBC documentary of KR which might be of interest to both of you if you haven't seen it. Also I got this DVD bootleg a short while ago with a bunch of Krautrock band performances. Two festivals worthy of note is Burg Herzberg Festival and the Blue Soul Festival. Current bands there are some the most prominent I think is Colour Haze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tea for Tanja Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 Thanks fo the replies.It is intresting to see that you all seem to be in the older music of Germany. I like this bands ,too .Wonder why is there no new band listed in here? Maybe because we all are more into the 70 th and todays music is often bad.

austrian_zeppelin Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 being Austrian, i was obviously quite close to german music and there are a few bands that i still listen to a lot...old and new kraftwerk - obvious choice i guess canalterror - an early punk band - pure, raw, great tocotronic - really like them Die Aerzte - their old stuff is brilliant Die Toten Hosen - again the older the stuff the better, they are still massive in germany Blumentopf - very smart lyrics and a few Austrian acts you should try (if you dare) Bauchklang - basically 5 guys who just use their voices as instruments. call it beatboxing, call it vocal groove, whatever it is they are awesome...see them live if you can Attwenger - austrian folk punk sung in dialect (so don't even attempt to understand the lyrics, even as a native from a different part of the country i sometimes struggle). But the only austrian act ever who got the nod from the great John Peel who said I don't know what this noise is, but i love it... Kruder & Dorfmeister - austria's famous sons of the modern era....excellent DJ's - check out the K&D Sessions Waldeck - another DJ but some awesome stuff. check out The Night Garden - my first port of call when i want to chill out....made many plane journeys a lot nicer. enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could probably discover more bands from Germany through them. Here's a list called German Motors of new German bands but the only ones I've heard besides CH is Samsara Blues Experiment and Orcus Chylde.
