Krauthammer w/ Marcel Gidote’s Holy Crab & Karaba

KONZERT

KRAUTHAMMER XIII
Er ist wieder zurück! Der legendäre Krauthammer bringt den Spirit der Krautrock-Ära zurück ins Milla. München, einst eine glühende Brutstätte dieser Bewegung, war damals ein Zentrum für freie Musik, psychedelische Visionen und radikales Experiment — und heute lebt diese Energie wieder auf. Nach einschlägigen Abenden mit Legenden wie Ex-CAN-Sänger Damo Suzuki, Embryo oder Peter Frohmaders Nekropolis schlägt die Reihe eine direkte Brücke in die Gegenwart: Eine neue Generation von Neo-Krautrock-Bands formiert sich, die mit tranceartigen Grooves, komplexen, offenen Songarchitekturen und freier Improvisation kompromisslos ihren eigenen Weg geht — roh, hypnotisch und alles andere als museal.

Marcel Gidote’s Holy Crab (MGHC)
A Czech psychedelic band founded in 2019, blending influences from traditional rock, krautrock, and jazz with a modern sound. The current lineup consists of Jan Bukovjan on vocals, tenor saxophone, flute, and rhythm guitar; Ondřej Vávra on vocals and guitar; Viktor Eberle on vocals, keyboards, and synthesizers; Marek Sobota on bass guitar; and Matěj Šolc on vocals and drums. MGHC released their debut EP, Bay Of Roots, in 2020 on the independent Czech label Polí5. This was followed by an ongoing collaboration with manager Šárka Hlaváčková, and in 2021 the band released their first full-length album, Humidity Breaking Limits, on their own, shifting to a more complex and heavier musical expression. Their next album, Farm Alarm, released in the spring of 2023, is based on a greater number of vocal parts, acoustic guitar, and synthesizers, and serves as a powerful reminder of our planet’s climate crisis. This was followed by two more singles (Felina, Giant Stabs), and in the same year the band embarked on its first European tour, followed by a second in the fall of 2024 and a third in the summer of 2025.

In collaboration with producer Pavel Kielberger, MGHC released a new double album, Sorcerers Laughing Out In The Heat, at the end of spring 2025. Based on this collaboration, the soundtrack to the cult indie computer game Felvidék was also created (spring 2024). This also contributed significantly to the band’s popularity abroad, and they continue to distribute their music worldwide.

Over the past few years, MGHC has established itself as one of the most progressive Czech bands and has played concerts with, for example, California’s Osees, the legendary Japanese band Acid Mother’s Temple, as well as Acid Tongue, Tonstartssbandht, Lumerians, Triptides, and ROAR. The band has been featured in a number of domestic and foreign magazines and radio stations. Thanks in part to their genre mix, MGHC’s fan base continues to grow. Since 2022, they have been playing regularly abroad and have already visited France, Austria, Germany, Poland, Slovakia, Croatia, Hungary, Slovenia, Bosnia, and Serbia. 

Karaba
Instrumental | Krautrock · Jazz-Rock · Psychedelia
Karaba is an instrumental band from Munich, Germany, originally emerging as a jam-oriented project inspired by Embryo, Soft Machine, and Kraan. Over the years, the band has developed a distinctive musical language rooted in krautrock, jazz-rock, canterbury scene, psychedelia, and progressive rock, characterized by strong improvisation, compositional depth, and a subtle sense of humor.

Karaba’s self-titled debut album (2014) documents the band’s early phase, blending krautrock grooves with psychedelic and progressive elements.
Their second album, Schwester Mondreal (2018), expands into more eclectic, Zappa-esque territory while remaining strictly instrumental. A standout track is the 13-minute improvisation “Ozmoze,” featuring vibraphonist Marja Burchard. The third studio album, All High Ways (2022), released with support from Initiative Musik, combines newly written material with earlier compositions, seamlessly merging jazz-rock, krautrock, and progressive structures with playful, Zappa-inspired elements. Additional releases include the live album Live in Vienna (2020, Adansonia Records), an EP on Berlin-based jazz label Kryptox Music (including “Der Inder,” featured on the compilation Kraut Jazz Futurism), and the track “Orbit Autounfall” on Jazz Montez Records Compilation Vol. II (2023).
In 2024, Karaba also contributed “Chateaux Morell” to the 30th anniversary compilation of the French underground label Fractal Records.

Karaba has established itself firmly within the German and European psychedelic music scene, performing extensively at clubs, theaters, and major festivals. Past appearances include Münchner Kammerspiele, Fusion Festival, MELT Festival, and numerous international shows. The band has also collaborated musically with Damo Suzuki (ex-Can).
