Shine On - The Best of the Whalers

Artist profile: Brøkkelfish-Beat-Band (Germany)

Drunkard (Brøkkelfish) 2:23 , Hightime (Brøkkelfish) 2:31

The Brøkkelfish-Beat-Band, from Germany, features Jens Beat on guitar, keyboards and vocal, and Charly Troksa on drums, bass, recorder and vocal.

Both were founding fathers of the Best of the Whalers project, overseeing and programming its unique combination of covers and fans' own compositions.

Both their eclectic offerings are attractively poppy and fiendishly catchy; yet only Drunkard betrays any Procol influence, and that in its words alone! Nonetheless Charly has been a Brooker fan since age 1963, converting at age 18 to Procol Harum. He confesses to 'wide interests in progressive jazz and Baroque music': Jens is more of an R&B fan.
