Fashion Pink were formed in 1968 by Roland Schaeffer. During their sessions in 1970/71: The origins of the band Fashion Pink can be traced back to experiences of three schoolmates from Baden-Baden (South-west Germany), who decided to form a contemporary Underground progressive rock band, having already played in various beatgroups. These young and enthusiastic guys, all well educated on their instruments from early age on, developed a complex and refined music. Influenced by such acts like “JETHRO TULL CARAVAN SOFT MACHINE and FRANK ZAPPA” but also “JIMMY HENDRIX, BEATLES and ROLLING STONES”, the boys created a varied and exciting music, which diverged from the well travelled tracks of Kraut and progressive rock.
