exmagma 72 - 75 Andy Goldner, Tommy Balluff und Fred Braceful leben von Februar 1972 bis September 1974 mit zahlreichen Freaks aus aller Welt auf einem Bauernhof, dem Wäscherhof, in Süddeutschland. |

exmagma zieht 1974 mit einigen Mitbewohnern des Wäscherhofs nach Frankreich. In der Normandie finden sie ein abgelegenes Haus, in Paris eine Wohnung unweit des Place de la Republique. The
two German members of the group were Thomas BALLUFF from MULI & THE MISFITS
(a '60s Mod-Soul band that depended on his Hammond B-3 grooves rather
than on brass) and guitar and bass player Andy GOLDNER, who came from
FIVE FOLD SHADE, Stuttgart's premier R&B band in the PRETTY THINGS / YARDBIRDS
category. Fred BRACEFUL, the late drummer, was born in Detroit and came
to Germany with the US Army in the late '50s. He was a well-paid free-lancer
in the early '60s, but never quite your standard jazz drummer who'd be
content to build the backbone of a rhythm section. With like-minded keyboarder
Wolgang DAUNER, he formed ET CETERA in 1970, a group that released one
of the few real necessary and satisfying albums of a genre that we now
know as Krautrock. |
