gcr Poker:Red Neck Roller,CD

Sometimes one wonders why a record remained unknown and could only cause a stir regionally. With Poker, it's hard to know where to start with all the arguments that should have spoken for a conquest of the rock world. Let's begin with the musicians who formed this band in 1980. The name Kin Ping Meh appears not once but twice, making Krautrock fans nervous. Guitarist Gagey Mrozeck and singer Michael Pozz were part of this legend, while Peter Oehler (guitar) and Jürgen Astor (drums) came from the Geff Harrison Band. Poker was not just an all-star group for the Mannheim area; the names Nine Days Wonder and Twenty Sixty Six And Then must also be mentioned to make the list of former bands somewhat complete. Their energetic hard rock was captured on LP in 1981 with an internationally competitive production.
