This band was from Frankfurt. I saw them first in Dreieich (my hometown near Frankfurt) in early 1969. I remember they were dressed in hippie clothes which was unusal in our town then. I liked their music right from the beginning. Around March 1970 I saw them again, this time in Frankfurt. They played at a rock competition which they won. They were rewarded with the record contract. They made the recording in Cologne. The record did not sell very well because they hardly did any tours in Germany. Only in the Rhein-Main area (Frankfurt/Wiesbaden), Heidelberg and Munich (where they played in a club for 3 nights) their record was sold. Later they changed their name to Ambra and moved to the countryside as a commune. They split up around 71/72. Their drummer died in the mid 70s from a shock he suffered by touching the electric guitar and a lamp at the same time. Michael Meixner became the co-founder of the hard rock cafe in Frankfurt in 1978. Have a look at www.pocketbluesband.de for Christians current band.
