KUHN FU

"If we wanted an Austrian Billy Jenkins, who better than Christian Kühn and his Kuhn Fu combo.

Salzburg News "between cabaret and schizophrenia, a successful accent in the program" Concerto, AT "The band around guitarist Christian Kühn relies on style duels, as US saxophonist John Zorn used to, and it sounds massive" DerStandard, AT "Kuhnspiracy is an incredibly focused work, a commendable take on programmatic writing utilising multiple music blends...an aural kaleidoscope, often mentally exhaustive yet feeling quite pertinent within the current jazz climate." Jazz Journal, UK ''the chief attraction lies in the mash-up of genres—punk, funk, classical, folk, metal/grunge, marching music, spoken word (and probably more)—and the easy precision with which the group negotiates the incessant rapid-fire changes, from chugging power riffs to plaintive themes, from aggressive screams to gentle whispers."

Programmmusik im besten Wortsinn, zum Grinsen, zum Grübeln, zum Headbangen'' Jazzthing, DE ''ein purer Genuss für alle vom Radio- und TV-Musik-Mainstream arg geschundenen Ohren, die den Schalter umgehend von Klang-Einheitsbrei auf Extrem-Dissonanz umlegen können, ohne auf das Eine wie das Andere gänzlich verzichten zu müssen.' musikreviews, DE ''The music is too rich for me to think of it as a potential soundtrack – it’s more like an entire film, translated as album.'' arcticdrones.com ''You can never get comfortable with any of the tracks and that is a good thing as this style of music is made to be radical and shifting under your feet. KUHNSPIRACY is not for the faint of heart, but adventurous music lovers may just get the right kick from their craziness.'' rockthebodyelectric.com ''Kuhnspiracy is tons of fun, both in the compositions and the improvisations, and this is definitely a band with a sound all their own and the talent to make it work." Jon Davis ''To my ears, they have extended the Rock In Opposition genre with their classical leanings and deranged playing. Quite an impressive release that is sure to appeal to anyone tired of the same old, same old.'' Henry Schneider
