THE GENTS live – MORE GERMAN TEENBEAT MADNESS


 

Yeah, yeah, yeah again, here’s another batch of live recordings from a group that never turned professional yet delivered what was expected of a genuine Beat Band (as they were called in German), and THE GENTS hit the skins and guitar strings just as hard as the best of the German first division bands, actually harder than some. The Gents’ music is sheer Teenpunk, although the term was not common way back in 1964. Anyway, the Gents rock, they roll, and they throw so much energy around, it’s just infectious. In “older posts” you can listen to more music of the Gents, who were Sundolf Köhler, voc, lg, Rainer Lange, dr, Bahne Markowski, voc, rg, Manfred Markowski, voc, rg, Günther Schultz, voc, b, but also read about these recordings.

 

Hier eine zweite Tranche Live-Beat-By-The-Gents. Ich denke, ihr könnt alle genug Englisch, um obigen Text zu verstehen. Also, nicht mehr Worte. In „older posts“ könnt ihr euch noch mehr Gents-live-music anhören. Und die Jungs hauen kräftig rein, so, wie man es damals wollte. Gut gemacht.

The Triumph TR3 is Sundolf's. I wish I had had one.
