One of the most cited quotes in the early 80´s about Motörhead or Rush were: How can a three-piece create such a sound? Same could be said in 2024 about ze Germans Kombynat Robotron, hailing from Kiel. We saw them at the Desertfest in Berlin 2023 and at the Stoned from the Underground 2024 and both gigs just passed like two minutes although the songs actually started after two minutes. This band creates a fascinating minimalism and you as a listener are free to build your own pictures or movies in your head. Hawkwind or Can added a lot of jingalingaling in their songs and the songs lost a bit of their heaviness and drive; Ze Germans here maintain their driving beat and add some strange noises out of only one guitar, just like an instrumental version of Slift. A quite trippy start in my day today.
