Limited edition bakelit lemez LP kiadvány verzió, 2017-es album.
The first studio album in 10 years! 20 years THE ELECTRIC FAMILY! Actually it is already 21 years, because already in summer 1996 THE ELECTRIC FAMILY (then still as The Perc’s Electric Family) had their first live appearance at the Herzberg Festival in front of 30.000 people. But as the band’s debut album „Welcome to the Family Show with the Folks you know” was released in 1997, so we celebrate the band’s 20. anniversary this year.
Founded in Bremen by Tom „The Perc” Redecker, from the beginning the project became a multimusical association, which knows no boundaries and seems to feel comfortable in every genre, regardless of whether it is prog-, Kraut-, punk-, jazz- or folkrock.
It’s not surprising that numerous musicians from such diverse bands as Amon Düül II, Die Ärzte, Grobschnitt, Boa’s Voodoo Club, Lokomotive Kreuzberg, Pankow, Rockhaus, Mojo Club, Emsland Hillbillies – to name only a few – joined THE ELECTRIC FAMILY in the studio and on stage. Famous Geman singer Ulla Meinecke gave her first English-language record contribution to the Family at all.
For their second album, „Tender”, 1999, THE ELECTRIC FAMILY had almost received the German Critic Record Prize, and to the third album „Ice Cream Phoenix” American rock writer David Fricke (Rolling Stone) wrote the liner notes!
THE ELECTRIC FAMILY in the summer of 2016, with The Perc (vocals, guitar, bass), Harry Payuta (vocals, sitar, bass) Rolf Kirschbaum (vocals, guitar) and Hanno Janssen (drums) four original band members gathered in the studio with Anders Becker (keyboardist of the legendary Mandra Gora Lightshow Society) and Steff Ulrich, drums and percussion.
There were a few planned gigs with Krautrock legend Agitation Free, which should not take place. So the musicians decided to go to the studio and record the next studio album.
