Violence Fog - Leisure (1972)

VIOLENCE FOG was formed in 1969 from members of various local bands in the Baden-Baden region (of Germany). It only took a few rehearsals before they were making successful live appearances where, apart from original compositions, their repertoire also included their own version of ¡®Brother Where Are You¡® (Remo Four) and ¡®Paint It Black¡® (R. Stones). The band had a considerable fan following who accompanied them to their shows in the German south-west. In addition to playing gigs in youth centres and music clubs, VIOLENCE FOG also played at local film premieres and performances of music films like Easy Rider, Woodstock, Alice¡¯s Restaurant and Let It Be. The band scored a great hit with their elaborate psychedelic light show projected onto the cinema screen.

By the mid-seventies the group had achieved more than just local fame and decided to try their luck with SWF which was producing a series for potentially successful up-and-coming groups. On 23.4.71 the band achieved their aim and recorded the titles released on this CD in the radio station¡¯s own studio U1 in Baden-Baden.

Despite the motivation created by the SWF recordings the band broke up a few weeks later for professional reasons. Intensive research has failed to shed light on any other publishable title by the band.

@jonsilence Damn right. Youtube and Darublues (along with some other helpful channels) are opening up some serious vaults. Thanks to them, I'm a 19 year old with a 50 year old's taste in music. haha
