The Profile

Grobschnitt are a German progressive/Krautrock band formed in 1970 in Hagen. Renowned for theatrical, humorous and electronics-laced live shows, they became closely associated with Brain Records and the expansive live suite Solar Music.

Signed to Brain Records; formed in 1970. Early line-ups featured two drummers and theatrical/social-satire shows. Key members included Joachim “Eroc” Ehrig, Gerd-Otto “Lupo” Kühn, Stefan “Wildschwein” Danielak, Volker Kahrs, Bernhard Uhlemann, Wolfgang “Popo” Jäger and Axel Harlos. According to DeBaser reviews, they played 1,356 concerts and released 14 albums over a 19-year career.

Three DeBaser reviews celebrate Grobschnitt’s prog/Krautrock blend, their theatrical live power, and the spacey core suite Solar Music. The debut (1972), Ballermann (1974), and Solar Music Live (1978) emerge as key stops. Reviews praise the band’s voice, guitars, baroque organs, and electronic textures, with special love for their expansive live journeys.
