In their "paranoid prog-punk-jazz performance", the band KUHN FU of guitarist, composer and master of ceremonies, Christian Kühn, turns everything through the improvisational wolf. Zappa meets cabaret, surf sounds and metal riffs ride the Chattanooga Choo-Choo, while Shakespeare, Brecht and Monty Python are the godfathers.
After hundreds of shows and thousands of kilometers on tour, KUHN FU celebrates their 10th anniversary with a bang: The double album "Jazz is Expensive / Live in Saalfelden" will be released on October 14th by BERTHOLD RECORDS.

"It was loud, it was fast, it was cheeky and funny... Thunderstorms of drums and bass swept across the stage. The audience thanked them with applause, shouts of "Yes!" and laughter. "A wonderful piece of nonsense. I like it when nonsense is wrapped in music on stage. It's reminiscent of Frank Zappa and was totally awesome," praised jazz fan Dietmar (60) from Berlin. If he sees "KUHN FU" on a flyer again, he promises to go there for the concert." Ostzee Zeitung about Eldenaer Jazz Festival concert (01.07.22)
"If we wanted an Austrian Billy Jenkins, who better than Christian Kühn and his Kuhn Fucombo, manic in terms of guitaring, puppet-dancing and mention-the-humor, he roughed up the festival with a bucketload of zany humor, in the guise of avant speed jazz." Jazzwise, UK
"In keeping with its garish, absurdist cover art, the music Kuhn Fu creates is, in turns, discordant, danceable and utterly delightful."
Doug Collette, allaboutjazz
"the chief attraction lies in the mash-up of genres—punk, funk, classical, folk, metal/grunge, marching music, spoken word (and probably more)—and the easy precision with which the group negotiates the incessant rapid-fire changes, from chugging power riffs to plaintive themes, from aggressive screams to gentle whispers."
The New York City Jazz Record, US
"The compositions are incredibly progressive and atr the same time incredibly catchy, with emphasis on madness."
