2. Klaus Johann Grobe
The two Swiss gentlemen already made it into NBHAP’s recent list of interesting German-singing bands at the moment and their Eurosonic Noorderslag performance was another proof of their talent as a live band. They call their music ‘neo kraut romance’ and it quite quickly becomes clear why that is the case. A driving drum beat, spaced-out guitars and an epic synthesizer organ create a very distinctive groove. The cryptic vocals by singer Sevi Landolt are the cherry on top although you don’t really need to be fluent in German to fall for the hypnotic vibes of their sound. Festival organizers of Europe – you would be silly to NOT book KLAUS JOHANN GROBE in 2015, really.
