NINE DAYS WONDER formed as far back as 66, this group recorded their wild debut album (between Zappa, Soft Machine, Crimson and Purple, if you can picture that!!)
as a fairly international quintet (4 different nationalities between the five of them) before breaking up the following year, with their sax player, John Earle joining Gnidrolog for their classic Lady Lake.
Singer-drummer Seyffer then joined the group Medusa, which soon became the second line-up of NDW and by the start of 73, they were recording their We Never Lost Control, which was more conventional prog (Nektar comes to mind).
NDW stayed a very unstable unit with their straight rock album Only The Dancer recorded as a quartet in England and on which VdGG's Jackson guests on a few tracks.
The group's last album Sonnet To Billy Frost was a press-dismissed British-sounding rock opera.~ Progarchives.com
NINE DAYS WONDER is a German underground rock band of the 1970's hailing from Mannheim.
Eccentric and unique vocalist Walter Seyffer had fronted numerous bands during the 1960's.
He claims to have established Nine Days Wonder in 1966, then known as The Graves, who gradually transformed into Nine Days Wonder proper in February 1970.
Walter got together an unlikely collection of musicians from Germany, Austria, Ireland and England, to create a diverse rock fusion encompassing all forms of Krautrock and showing distinct Frank Zappa and British progressive rock influences.~ Discogs.com
