Percewood's Onagram - Tropical Brainforest 1972 (Germany, Krautrock, Psychedelic Rock)
Percewood's Onagram - a group of Bremen (Bremen), active in 1969-1974, respectively. Recorded four albums. The undisputed leader of the group - vocalist, guitarist, songwriter Wolfgang Michels. Many speakers, which is not too typical krautroka ... And sings Wolfgang also in English ...In May 1968 a very young German musician named Michels with the pseudonym "One Plus None" had a #2 BBC London chart hit with "Desert Walker", a song he produced himself, which was topped only by the Rolling Stones at #1. Alexis Korner, “the father of the white blues”, and the man who discovered the Rolling Stones, then invited Michels to London and took him under his wing.
In the early 70's Michels, as singer and guitarist of the psychedelic rock band "Percewood's Onagram", which was the first German indie band, produced four albums with lyrics and music all his own. “Percewood’s Onagram” developed a worldwide cult following. Their album “Ameurope” is still rated among the best rock albums of all time by music experts, journalists and fans on the internet. After the band split up, Michels returned to London where he appeared at the Marquee Club, among others. He later moved to San Francisco and, as the first German musician in California/USA, recorded two solo albums, in collaboration with Neil Young producer & engineer John Nowland, both of which attained a cult following.
As of 2011 Michels is writing and performing songs. He died 2017 09 14..
