STAGG

Stagg biography
STAGG was an obscure jazz rock group from Frankfurt active during the early 70's. The group was formed in June 1973 and
consisted of Freddy HOHN, Harald WANKA, Manfred WEISZ and Joel WESER who decided on the band name after noticing a sports car model of a similar name in a magazine.

While the group had some live performances, they never made official releases, but instead they were one of the many bands that were recorded through radio studios for South West Broadcast (studio time and a recording engineer were won through a contest evaluating received demo tapes by multiple bands). Some of the groups like that turned more famous, like BRAINSTORM, PUPPENHAUS and MISSUS BEASTLY for example, while others were only released to the public only decades later and promoted as obscure masterpieces of German krautrock of the time. The remastered STAGG recordings that were made in SWB studios in January 1974 were remastered and released in 2018 and are a more than decent example of similar jazzy krautrock sound in the vein of THIRSTY MOON, PUPPENHAUS or BRAINSTORM.
