Thirsty Moon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thirsty Moon is a German Krautrock band. The band was founded in the early seventies in Bremen and plays progressive rock with strong jazz influences. Band members were the brothers Jürgen and Norbert Drogies, Michael Kobs, Harald Konietzko, Erwin Noack, Willi Pape and Siegfried Pisalla, although this line-up would change in the late 70s. Especially the band's first two albums received the highest critical acclaim and are considered classics in the Krautrock genre. In 2007 founder member Jürgen Drogies released the album "Dreamcatcher" and gave his new band the name BACK TO THE MOON.
