Kater Fritz is an indie, jazz, progressive rock band that was formed in Hamburg in August 2005.
[edit] History
The Band Kater Fritz (KF) was formed in August 2005 in Hamburg, Germany. It was thought as the second and parallel project to the band "The Jeopards". All the musicians of The Jeopards has taken part in Kater Fritz. The reason of such a split into two bands was simple. The Jeopards played the music based on rock'n'roll, beat and blues of 50's and 60's. Kater Fritz should have become something very different. Taking as a base the classical art-, progressive- and jazz rock from 70's and some hard- and blues-rock, plus a bit of folk elements, this band was seen to be more experimental and innovative. Moreover, the language of the lyrics of KF was chosen to be Russian, whereas The Jeopards sang in English.
The band started with the common lineup: two guitars, bass and drums.

In July 2006 a saxophonist Vsevolod Zubarev joined the band and the official web-page was opened. Vsevolod had played with KF for 4 months and left the band in November 2006. At the time, two bands successfully exist in parallel playing sometimes both KF and TJ stuff during the same show
