Krautschädl is an Austrian musicgroup from Wels (Upper Austria). Despite their name, the group they cannot be considered a pure Krautrock act, but instead plays a mix of Rock, Funk, Ska and also draws a few influences from Metal. The vocals are sung in Upper Austrian dialect.

"Krautschädl" commonly means "head of cabbage" ("Kohlkopf" in Standard German), but is sometimes used as an insult in Austria.

Background

In spring 2004 Krautschädl began playing concerts. One year later they released their first demo tape with 3 tracks -"s'Gösserl", "Zeit zum Denga" ("Time to Think") and "Sandlerstah"- and started recording tracks for their album. They finally signed in with Sony BMG and re-recorded these tracks in 2005. In March 2006 their first eponymous LP was released and subsequently the single "Zeit zum Denga" was played on the Austrian TV-channel [http://www.gotv.at/"GoTV"] .
