Frumpy was a German progressive rock/krautrock band based in Hamburg, active between 1970–1972 and 1990–1995. Formed after the break‑up of folk rockers City Preachers, Frumpy released four albums between 1970 and 1973 and achieved considerable commercial success. The German press hailed them as the best German rock band of their time, and their vocalist Inga Rumpf was praised as the “greatest individual vocal talent” of the contemporary German rock scene. The band disbanded in 1972, although the various members continued to collaborate in different constellations over the following two decades. They reunited in 1989 and produced three more albums over the next five years before disbanding again. All of the band members met as performers with Germany’s first folk rock band City Preachers, formed by Irishman John O’Brien‑Docker in Hamburg in 1965. In 1968, the band split, with O’Brien‑Docker and several members departing. Singer Inga Rumpf, known for her distinctive, “un‑feminine” vocal style often compared to Janis Joplin, continued under the City Preachers name with a new lineup including drummer Udo Lindenberg, singer Dagmar Krause, French organist Jean‑Jacques Kravetz, and bassist Karl‑Heinz Schott.
