Claus Hempler
Fielfraz was a Danish band, which had its heyday between 1990 and 1996. The band members were Claus Hempler on guitar and vocals, Nils Brakchi on bass, Kenneth Priisholm on guitar (lead) and Jens Langhorn on drums. After several years of building up a live reputation in Odense, Fielfraz broke through with their very first record ''Shine'', a Beatlesque guitar-oriented rock record. 1992's ''Electric Eel'' also included big radio hits like ''Surfer'' and ''Naked'' but the album as a whole was a lesser success. The third album, ''Slick'', came late in 1996 and although widely critically acclaimed, it was largely ignored by the public. Fielfraz continued to perform live occasionally, but Priisholm eventually left the band for good, leaving Fielfraz as a trio which released ''Hempler'' in 2004. Fielfraz have been cited as an influence on Danish rock and grunge bands that broke through in the early 1990s like Kashmir and Dizzy Mizz Lizzy. However Fielfraz´ influences were primarily B ...
