Bullfrog
There are at least three artists with this name:
1) The German prog rock band Bullfrog were born in Munich in 1973. Their brand of krautrock, featuring mostly guitar and some mean organ play, is rather melodious and a bit reminiscent of German art rockers Jane. Their latest incarnation consisted of keyboardist Harald Kaltenecker, guitarist Sebastian Leitner, bassist Vincent Trost, drummer Ali Halmatoglu and vocalist Gerd Hoch (who committed suicide in the summer of '95).
Their first (eponymous) album didn't break any grounds but their second, "High in Spirit" ('77) boasted a much better production and thus brought the band a sizeable following both in Germany and in the US.
2) Montreal funk crew Bullfrog have a reputation for just being scratch DJ Kid Koala's backing band. It's something they clearly don't mind--the cover of their 2001 self-titled disc features a sticker with the famed turntablist's name prominently displayed. In truth, though, aside from a couple of frenetic solos and cut-up cuts like "Extra Track II" and a live version of his now-classic "Music for Morning People," Koala's role in Bullfrog is that of just another instrument, not a scratch-happy sideshow. The sextet prides itself on integrating raw funk with DJ action, and this disc, on the Rope-a-Dope imprint, is dominated by lazy, long-limbed funk, with Koala cutting up his favorite thrift store finds in the background.
3) A noise-stoner-sludge band from Czech Republic.
