SET was a German rock band from Leipzig that existed from 1972 to the mid-1980s. Her repertoire consisted mainly of her own compositions. The musical style of the band tended between song-like rock music ( Huscha ) and hard rock ( Eisen ).

history

SET was founded in early 1972 as an amateur band . The band achieved their breakthrough at the event Rhythmus '75 with the title Huscha by Lutz Heinrich (guitar, vocals). The text is by Gerhard Fabian. With I saw a girl achieved another success title, so both titles in the same year as a single on Amiga appeared. Further singles and publications on Amiga samplers followed. However , the band was not given the opportunity to produce their own LP . In 1975 Bernd Haucke left the band; he later played with Prinzip , NO 55 and the Modern Soul Band . For him came Thomas Bürkholz , whose band Bürkholz Formation had been forcibly dissolved in 1973. Herbert Schmidt was replaced by keyboardist Thomas Hoffmann.

The band was involved in numerous musical productions of stage works. One of the best-known is the performance of the musical Fictional Report about an American Pop Festival by Tibor Déry (1977) at the Schauspielhaus Leipzig . For this production, Bürkholz rearranged the original music by the Hungarian band Locomotiv GT .

In 1978 the band was classified as a professional formation . 1979 Lutz Heinrich left the band and Bernd Seifert switched to Gong. The new guitarist was Lutz Künzel , Tobias Künzel's brother ; The new bass player was Frank Czerny in 1983, who came from principle.

After the end of the band

Heinrich and Haucke are playing today with Eisenheinrich, a blues rock band from Leipzig. Lutz Künzel founded the band ÄTäNNSCHEN in 1994 and wrote the music for the Leipzig cabaret artist Jürgen Hart until his death . In 2003 Künzel founded the band The Flaming Rocks together with his daughter Laura Künzel.
