Kling Klong Band

Postmodern jazz from Hamburg and Barcelona

KLING KLONG was founded in the early 80s in Marburg, Hesse. The five musicians from KLING KLONG began to experiment with rhythms, melodies and sounds. They were heavily influenced by the New York no-wave scene around Lounge Lizzards and Arto Lindsay, as well as by the British band Rip Ric and Panic by singer Neneh Cherry and influences from foreign musical cultures such as the Arab and Latin American world.

Since 2018, after more than three decades, KLING KLONG has been reunited. Today they play more rhythmically than before, with courageous melodies and improvisations. A new element: fragments of interviews, the band uses rhythmically - like another instrument.

KLING KLONG has just produced a new album with a new sound in the Syrinx studio in Hamburg: “Everyone is a transmitter”. The album will be released in 2022. Then KLING KLONG will go on tour again.
