weirdo naffn
German band Weirdo Naffn was founded by
Michael Krampe (guitar & vocals) in 1996. At that time, the other
bandmembers were Oli Zander (on bass) and Jörg Wollmann (on
drums). In 1998, Jörg Letzing (rhythm guitar) joined the band and the
next couple of years Weirdo Naffn recorded "Crazy Ahmed's Instramental
Favoritz" (1999) and "Shut up'n Groove Dr.Zeuch" (2001). After Christoph
Wienköter (keyboard) joined, the band recorded their live album "Dr.Zeuch's
Lonely Heart Club Band Live" (2003).
In 2004, the fantastic Shari Littmann (guitar & vocals) found her way
into the band and Weirdo Naffn recorded "Hoppla, ruft Herr purpurnes Sofa" as
well as a kind of Best Of compilation.
On occasion, Weirdo Naffn has recorded and performed a couple of Frank Zappa compositions: 'Chunga's Revenge', 'Watermelon In Easter Hay', 'Outside Now', 'Bamboozled By Love', ...
The band is played at the 2005 edition of the Zappanale festival.
As Michael Krampe says: 'In 2005, we look forward to play the Zappanale festival and to record 2 more CDs. By the way, we are not a Zappa cover band, but we do play some Zappa coverversions."
→ Michael Krampe also writes for the world-famous Arf Dossier !!

The band's 2005 Zappanale concert got broadcast on the internet and was also made available in very limited quantities (22 copies) on DVDR by the Arf Society.
