Formed in 1968 this German Krautrock band has gone into various line ups and releasing after the disbanding in 1979 again
The first three albums with their classic lineup of Mani Neumeier, Ax Genrich and Uli Trepte (Spacebox), and in particular, the first and third, are all essential German rock opuses. After KanGuru they reportedly went downhill, though there are apparently a number of very good tracks buried within the confines of their apparently mediocre, fusion-oriented latter day catalog. They merged with members of the group Kraan in the mid 70s for Mani und Seine Freunde.
In 2019 the band celebrated their 50th anniversary of on-stage performances and on 1 Jan 2020, Mani Neumeier celebrated his 80th birthday. Guru Guru soldiers on with 50 live shows booked for 2020.
Founding member Ax Genrich left the band after 1976.
