Grobschnitt was a West German rock band which existed between 1970 and 1989. Describing their style as "Solar Music", the band mixed psychedelic rock with hard rock in the 1970s, before shifting to a more mainstream pop and rock style in the 1980s. Grobschnitt, unlike other bands, utilized humor in their music in the form of unexpected noises and silly lyrics and concepts. As was common with many German bands of the time, Grobschnitt sang in English until the early 1980s, despite touring exclusively in West Germany. The band accrued a loyal fan base through its live performances which included pyrotechnics and German comedic sketches. Highlight performances include Solar Music, an extended mostly instrumental piece which lasted up to an hour. Grobschnitt were also known for their stamina on stage, frequently performing shows in excess of three hours.
