Ixthuluh was a Krautrock band from Austria . The band cannot be assigned to a fixed genre . Started in 1975/76 as a jazz rock band, the band's style soon changed into a direction that can be classified under psychedelic rock .
Band history
The band ( called Ixthuluh from spring 1976 ) was founded in 1975 by Dita Lasser (guitar, vocals), James Geiblinger (bass), Max Wedl (saxophone) and Michael Brandstetter (drums). Initially inspired by bands such as Can , Gato Barbieri or Van der Graaf Generator , they began looking for their own sound early on.
The band bought a farm in 1977 and the band Ixthuluh became the collective Ixthuluh .
In 1979 Werner Ponesch separated from the record distributor Ixthuluh, which had been founded in the meantime and which became an important independent label in Austria.
A total of seven CDs document the band's career. In 2020, noise appeal records released a vinyl LP with recordings from 1980.
At the end of 1981 the band finally broke up. The successor group MUB could not build on the musical quality, even if the second album of the group is quite independent and interesting in terms of sound.
In 2008 the band was re-founded under the name Mud Shurko.
