if you could assemble a band with whichever bandmembers you want, who would you pick for you ultimate super group?

What a cool question I spent the last 3 hours of my shift pondering it 😸 so:

Vocals: Inga rumpf of frumpy/atlantis

Drums: Terry Cox of pentangle

Bass: Peter principle of tuxedomoon

Keyboards: Martin Duffy of felt/primal scream

Guitars: Omar Rodriguez-Lopez of the mars Volta/at the drive-in & ash Bowie of polvo

Violin: don sugarcane Harris of the mothers of invention etc.

Sax/flute: jean fineberg of isis

Now don't ask me how that would work together stylistically 😭 I wanted to keep it interesting.. and I just think all these people have/had great musicianship 😌

Tom 5: An artist with a focus on guitar-driven ambiance.

Tom 5 is a musician and composer focusing on creating instrumental guitar-based music. His recent album," Dark Side of the End," is a testament to his diverse set of skills. While the songs on this record predominantly explore the realms of metal, they also delve into the ambient and cinematic side of Tom 5's artistry. This unique ability to traverse the spectrum of musical emotions sets him apart as a composer and guitarist who can evoke profound feelings and emotions through his music.

What truly sets Tom 5 apart is his keen interest in collaborating with the world of visual media. His musical style seamlessly complements the visual storytelling in film, commercials, and TV scores. The quality of his compositions and performances makes them a perfect match for any professional production. His contribution to the feature film "Above Suspicion," starring Emilia Clarke and Jack Huston with the track "No Return," stands as a testament to the reach of his artistic prowess. This is only one of the many projects that helped Tom 5 become an established name in scoring and composition, even in the Hollywood scene. 

His background goes even deeper than that. Tom 5's discography reveals a captivating journey through the intricate nuances of his far-reaching musical artistry. While "Dark Side of the End" envelops the listener in a dark and haunting atmosphere, Tom 5's ability to differentiate his style shines through in other works. His album "Dreaming," for instance, offers a stark departure from the darkness, presenting a different sonic palette. Tracks like "Moments of Romance" and "Heaven and Hell" are great songs that demonstrate Tom 5's mercurial musical chops, evoking emotions from euphoria to introspection.

Even going back in time, Tom 5 always stood out as an individual with a passion for music that accompanied him through life. Born Thomas Hoffman, his journey as a guitarist and composer began at the tender age of 11, fueled by his love of bands like AC/DC, KISS, and later, Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne. He found inspiration in guitar virtuosos such as John Sykes and, most notably, the iconic Zakk Wylde. This early influence paved the way for his remarkable musical career.

As a member of the Cologne-based band Underdog, Tom 5 had the opportunity to tour in Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium. The band even had the honor of opening for renowned acts like Inga Rumpf and Manfred Mann's Earth Band. Their performance at the "Rock over Kölle" event, broadcasted by WDR Cologne, reached an estimated listenership of 4 million, solidifying their presence in the rock scene. Their third album, "Out in the Night," was a remarkable success, leading EMI Electrola to release a compilation titled "Heavy Rock Super Groups."

Following the dissolution of Underdog, Tom 5 embarked on a new musical journey with the formation of the duo "Passe par Tout," exploring Latin American rhythms. His talent didn't go unnoticed, as he began publishing instrumental music for film, TV, and advertising at AudioSparx - The Music that powers Hollywood - in Los Angeles.

In 2023, Tom 5 signed a new contract with Capp Records in San Francisco, marking yet another chapter in his remarkable journey through the music world. As Tom 5 continues to craft his guitar-driven soundscapes, his audience eagerly awaits the sonic journeys that he will take them on in the years to come.

Frumpy: Frumpy 2 (1971)

Astonishing Music + One-of-a-Kind Packaging = Vinyl Nirvana!

Hamburg, Germany’s Frumpy came and went in a flash, working for hardly three years, beyond their late ‘60s folk roots (in The City Preachers) and ignominious breakup in 1972, but they left at least one timeless fusion of sound and vision in 1971’s Frumpy 2.

First released on green splatter wax and delivered to record stores in a ziplock bag, it was housed in the ambitious but fragile, six-panel die-cut sleeve seen here, so surviving copies now go for hundreds, even thousands of dollars!

Lucky for me, after gawking over some vintage footage of Frumpy on YouTube, I managed to track down this (rather suspicious) reissue in Spain, of all places, and was soon dissecting its contents, consisting of just four, epic songs, topped by the remarkable voice of Inga Rumpf. 

Acclaimed in her time among Germany’s most talented singers, Inga was sort of a female Rod Stewart -- not ‘cos she sounded like him, but ‘cos, like Rod, Rumpf had a fabulous, natural rasp, plus a nasal, almost masculine tone that was not about perfection, but colossal soul and feel.

But Frumpy’s creative driving force, at the start, was their French-born organist Jean-Jacques Kravetz, who had impressively managed without a guitar player on the previous year’s All Will be Changed, before finding a worthy six-string sparring partner in Rainer Baumann for album number two.

And so, together with Inga, bassist Karl-Heinz Schott, and drummer Carsten Bohn, Kravetz and Baumann, put their progressive rock chops on display -- spanning classical, jazz and psychedelia as they locked into into a spacey, Pink Floyd groove on “Good Winds,” before dropping some serious acid blues on the mesmerizing “How the Gipsy Was Born.” 

The latter would become Frumpy’s signature number, but my favorite here may be the heavier, sinister, “Take Care of Illusions” (I know, shocker!), which traveled through Arabian nights and was, I believe, intended as “Beware of Illusions,” before poor English translation intervened -- not that it matters.

Finally came “Duty,” the album’s closing, mournful lament of Vietnam War desertion, which split two, brief, emotionally-charged vocal sections with one almighty jam that pit all four instrumentalists against one another in a friendly but competitive battle of virtuoso wills.

In short: this album rocks!

But, unfortunately, Frumpy 2’s immeasurable promise was ultimately squandered when musical differences emerged following a U.K. tour in support of Mott the Hoople, affecting the recording of third LP, By the Way, and leading to Frumpy’s breakup, before too long.
