Lord, we love ourselves some krautrock here in the Bay, don’t we? Well, expect diehards to be out in force tonight, Sept. 29, at the Knockout for the titled-like-ya-see-it Two Hours of Krautrock II screening, presented by Aquarius Records and “Klaus to the Edge” (WAR 93.7 FM). Ja, ja, we’re talking videos pulled from German TV, circa 1971 to 1979, of Can, Klaus Schulze, Tiger B Smith, Kraan, Tritonius, Epitaph, Kraftwerk (with Klaus Dinger and Michael Rother), Tangerine Dream, Holderlin, and THE SCORPIONS. Geez, do they qualify?
Anyhoo, after the screening, NY krautrock-esque psychedelicists White Hills perform. “Klaus to the Edge” DJs AC and Allan fill out the evening of free popcorn and Germanic drink specials.
TWO HOURS OF KRAUTROCK II AND WHITE HILLS
