Burnin Red Ivanhoe is a Danish progressive rock band that was formed in Copenhagen in 1967 .

Band history

The band had their first appearance in 1968 under the name The Burnin Red Ivanhoes. Soon Per Kragh-Møller was replaced by Bo Thrige Andersen and Steen Lange by Arne Würgler, the band name was shortened to Burnin Red Ivanhoe. The record label Sonet became aware of the band and released their debut album M 144 as a double LP in 1969 . In addition to Claësson, Vogel, Würgler and Anderson, Kim Menzer (vocals, trumpet, saxophone and harmonica), Ole Fick (vocals and guitar), Steffen Andersen and Mads Vinding (both bass) were new band members. Burnin Red Ivanhoe play proto-progressive rock influenced by blues and jazz with Danish lyrics on M 144 .

After the debut, Jess Stæhr became the band's only bass player. This occupation remained stable for three years. Burnin Red Ivanhoe toured domestically and abroad and despite a first breakup in 1972 and several reunions, they released five more albums by 1974. T. Influences from Canterbury Sound , Folk and Hard Rock come to light. Kenneth Knudsen (keyboard) and Karsten Lyng (vocals) can be heard on Right On from 1974, but no longer Kim Menzer. In the meantime, Karsten Vogel had already become active with his new fusion band Secret Oyster .

In 1980 Fick, Vogel, Menzer, Andersen and Stæhr came together again for a studio album, on the 1998 album, in addition to Fick, Vogel and Menzer, there were also Klaus Menzer (drums), Janne Eilskov (vocals), Rasmus Hedeboe (guitar) and Assi Roar and Jon Bruland (bass) involved. An album with live recordings from the early 1970s was also released in 2009. Burnin Red Ivanhoe still perform live regularly today.
