In 1969, singer Inga Rumpf, keyboarder Jean Jacques Kravetz, bassist Karl Heinz Schott and drummer Carsten Bohn left the successful City Preachers. From then on, the four called themselves Frumpy, a play on Inga Rumpf"s name, which means "old-fashioned". Frumpy"s music: pounding blues-rock, interspersed with krautrock, progressive and psychedelic elements. Inga"s voice and Jean-Jaques" organ became the band"s trademark. By 1972, Frumpy had released three groundbreaking studio albums and a live album, with tracks like "How The Gypsy Was Born" and "Life Without Pain" still considered classics. The band then broke up to form Atlantis. In 1990, the musicians reunited and five years later the live album "Live - NinetyFive" was recorded in the original line-up at the club Fabrik (Hamburg, Germany). 23 years after their breakup, the feeling and the drive were still there, everything fit, the band worked, Inga again with a lot of blues and soul in her voice. The reunion of one of the most influential German rock bands could not have ended better.
