Influenceswe listen to a lot of different styles and much of that music is influencing our songwriting and jamming. Important for our musical development were for example artists/bands like:

Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Ozric Tentacles, Noetics, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Les Claypool, Umphrey's McGee, Lotus, Benevento & Russo Duo, Pink Floyd, Mike Watt, Siena Root, moe., Derek Trucks Band, Allman Brothers Band, Particle, Galactic, e.s.t.

alongside many different Blues/Jazz/Funk musicians or Bands.. impossible to mention them all

Sounds Like...four guys who like Rock & Funk but also have no fear of Electronica, Psychedelic Space stuff, Reggae, Dub, Jazz.. you name it. We just love jammin'. :)

Video above: The last seconds of "Dampfwalze", then an improvisational section mending into "Trippin", Live from Mayday / Hamburg, 29.9.07



Captain Obvious is about six guys musically connecting to each other and to their audience, trying to overcome stylistical limits and to reach a state of trance and euphoria.

We are no Jam Band in a sense of aimless noodling-around, of playing one solo after the next, more so we try to really listen to each other and challenge ourselves to take risks on stage at the cost of perfection. And to just do what feels right musically. At one moment you might hear us play an unexpected cover song or a tightly arranged 2-minute-rocker, the next we might delve into a 15-minute Dub-Electronica-Funk Jam. You also might hear us try spontaneous chord or rhythm changes on stage which might work and be the coolest thing we ever did.. or also might not. That's basically what The Captain is about. Having a fun time with our audience, taking risks, expressing oneself musically, making interesting music that you can move your body to. About taking it all to the next level. And hoping you will follow us there.
