Frumpy - 1990 - Now
Frumpy was a German progressive rock/krautrock band 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 in 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 [de]
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.
Atlantis – Live In The Fabrik (1975) (vinyl 2 LP)
Atlantis was a band formed by ex-Frumpy musicians Inga Rumpf, Jean-Jacques Kravetz and Karl-Heinz Schott, in late Summer, 1972. The initial line-up included guitarist Frank Dietz and ex-Emergency drummer Curt Cress (later with Triumvirat, Passport). The band played a few live gigs in Germany before they recorded their debut in London's Island Studios. The US magazine, Cash Box, compared Atlantis with the Doobie Brothers and praised Inga Rumpf's blues-tinged voice. Shortly before the group went on a four week tour of England with Procol Harum, Traffic, Vinegar Joe and the Sharks, Cress and Dietz left and were temporarily supplanted by Udo Lindenberg and George Meier.
