FRUMPY
Another great 70's Kraurock group ...and unlike the general myth...all Krautrock is NOT progressive. It is all genres--hard rock, folk rock, jazz rock, psych, and progressive yes.
FRUMPY...
Frumpy was a German progressive rock band (I disagree---they are straight ahead hard rock!) based in Hamburg, which was active between 1970–1972 and 1990–1995. Formed after the break-up of folk rockers The City Preachers, Frumpy released four albums between 1970–1973 and achieved considerable commercial success. The German press hailed them as the best German rock band of their time and their vocalist Inga Rumpf as the "greatest individual vocal talent" of the contemporary German rock scene. They disbanded in 1972 although the various members all worked together at various times over the following two decades and they reunited again in 1989, producing three more albums over five years after which they disbanded once more. -wiki
