Soft Kill Option – Tubed

Tubed

Artists: Markus “Maohl” Ohler (bs), Bernd Satzinger (b), Mathias Koch (dr)

One cup of jazz, one heaping scoop of rock, and a healthy portion of willingness to experiment with rhythms—this is the stew that Soft Kill Option serves up. If the combination of jazz and rock reminds you of the fusion sound of the 19070s, you couldn’t be further from the truth. Soft Kill Option likes it cocky, biting and above all, louder rather than soft!
“With driving bass, bluesy baritone sax and rock-y, angular percussion, the latent back beat of which is fused with odd meters—this is how this band does its name justice.” (Musikwerkstatt Wels)
Band leader Markus Ohler and his cohorts Bernd Satzinger and Mathias Koch all benefited from jazz training and have been or are active in a wide variety of formations: e.g. Maohl’s GIFT, Kelomat, Nifty’s, Jazzwerkstatt Wien, Maja Osojnik Band.
