Founded in Germany during the late 60’s, Hairy Chapter is a solid acid-garagey-free rockin band. This is reminiscence to the most marvellous krautrock acts (Amon Düül II, Guru Guru, Agitation Free, My solid Ground…). In 1969 they recorded the obscure Electric Sound for Dancing LP, followed by the catchy heavy-psychedelic called eyes (1970). In 1971 they recorded what is considered to be their most successful album (Can’t Get Through). It has been produced by Dieter Dirks (Nektar, Ashra Tempel, Wallenstein, Passport…). The album features a collection of tripped out-blasting bluesy kraut improvs / songs, including some discreet acoustic ethno vibes. A must to re-discover. This was a “no compromise” hard rockin’ quartet from Bonn. Under the name Electric Sounds For Dancing they released an obscure album (Maritim, 1969) rumoured to include early versions of songs later appearing on the first Hairy Chapter album. “Eyes” was released in 1970 on the small OPP label. It contained nine short, raw hard rock numbers, comparable to the early Hendrix, but even heavier!
