Monokel

Monokel is a blues rock group from Berlin. They belonged to the motor of the blues or customer scene, a GDR-specific youth culture, alongside Engerling, Freygang, Jonathan Blues Band and Kerth, and are still active today. Responsible for the "Kraftblues" are the hard guitar riffs of Michael Linke and Bernd Kühnert.

In 1975 Sebastian Baur and Peter Schneider met in the Franz-Club, the East Berlin blues domicile. Together with Horst Trümpelmann, Wilfried Borchert and Michael Mirek they founded the band Monokel, which broke up again in the summer of 1976 before it really started.
