Strawberry Bricks Entry:
Founded in Stuttgart in the early 70s by guitarist Uwe Karpa and keyboardist Matthias Ulmer, the band took its name from the Deep Purple song of the same name. Just teenagers, they spent the next few years playing covers of English groups in youth centers, with original drummer Sascha Pavlovic and others. But by the time their 1979 album Adonis was released on the Brain/Metronome label, both lead vocalist and bassist Harald Bareth and drummer Kono Konopik were in place. The starting point is British progressive rock, with a healthy dose of post-Gabriel Genesis.
