Can

CAN (stylized in all caps) were a German experimental rock band formed in Cologne in 1968 by Holger Czukay (bass, tape editing), Irmin Schmidt (keyboards), Michael Karoli (guitar) and Jaki Liebezeit (drums). The band featured several vocalists over the years, including American Malcolm Mooney (1968–70) and Japanese Damo Suzuki (1970–73). They are widely regarded as pioneers of the German krautrock scene. The founding members of CAN came from backgrounds in avant‑garde music and jazz. Their work blended elements of psychedelic rock, space rock, funk, samba and musique concrète, resulting in influential albums such as Tago Mago (1971), Ege Bamyasi (1972) and Future Days (1973). CAN also achieved commercial success with singles like “Spoon” (1971) and “I Want More” (1976), which entered national charts. Their music has influenced genres including rock, post‑punk, indie rock, post‑rock and ambient. CAN, initially named Inner Space, was formed in Cologne in 1968 by Czukay, Schmidt, Liebezeit and Karoli. Czukay and Schmidt came from academic musical backgrounds and had studied under composer Karlheinz Stockhausen, developing a fascination with the possibilities of rock music. By mid‑1968, CAN performed their first show at an art opening at the invitation of art collector Christoph Vohwinkel.
