Sofa Surfers

The core group consisting of Wolfgang Frisch, Markus Kienzl, Michael Holzgruber and Wolfgang Schlögl started as a freestyle groove collective, they also slipped into the theatre and film scoring world. Every member developed special skills and interests that would eventually flow back into the group’s style melting pot.

It was always very hard to pin down the Sofa Surfers sound either as a dubby and dark down tempo live act in the nineties or as an alternative hip-hop/multi media collective in the early Zeros. After years of expanding their musical boundaries, Sofa Surfers found new ground with Mani Obeya, Nigerian born and raised in the UK, he helped the collective to transform into a full blast post rock band and at the same time Obeya as a professionally trained dancer transcended the band into a vibrant groove dub rock monster on stage.
