Founded by drummer Carsten Bohn, singer Inga Rumpf, keyboarder Jean-Jacques Kravetz and guitarist Karl-Heinz Schott. In 1970, Frumpy started a succesful tour in France. The Same year they went on a 50 concert tour Spooky Tooth, and played with Yes, Humble Pie and Renaissance. All Will Be Changed appeared in 1970. It's a 40 minute Hammond Organ orgy in the style of Quatermass' Gemini or the wildest Keith Emerson. Frumpy 2 came wrapped in a round plastic bag. Rainer Baumann (guitar) joined. Their best work, with tracks no shorter than 10 minutes, an excellent guitar-organ masterpiece. Frumpy topped the "Musik Express" poll as the most popular German rock group of the year and the newspaper FAZ voted singer Inga Rumpf to be "the country's biggest individual talent," but a tour in England with Mott The Hoople failed to attract popularity. Musical differences with keyboardist Jean-Jacques Kravetz caused him to leave Frumpy, in spring 1972, to record a solo LP. But he returned for the recording sessions of Frumpy's third LP By the Way. Frumpy disbanded after a farewell concert on June 26, 1972. Inga Rumpf, Jean-Jacques Kravetz and Karl-Heiz Schott formed Atlantis. The year 1990 saw a Frumpy reunion and a new LP Now!. -- Andras Sumegi
