the krautrock free jazz avant-garde band GIRL ON CATFISH consists of four musicians who met for a first session in 2013 in regensburg, germany: manfred schimchen, robert pepe pöschl, stepha schweiger and mäx huber. 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 free improvisation 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.
