the german-french krautrock free jazz band GIRL ON CATFISH consists of the renowned jazz and studio drummer mäx huber, the bass player and producer robert pepe pöschl, the avant-garde composer and singer-songwriter pianist stepha schweiger, as well as the guitarist and "enfant terrible" manfred schimchen. their psychedelic sound with its consistently melodious intuitive feel moves in its own unique style within the new wave of the 1980s, just as it does within krautrock, free jazz, free improvisation, avant-garde and punk. when these four musicians are performing onstage, it can easily happen that a lyrical song in the GIRL ON CATFISH style evolves into an idiosyncratic sound storm, before ebbing away to become a calming sea breeze.
