Gila was an early-'70s Krautrock group that may not have been as
well-known as Ash Ra Tempel or Amon Düül II, but with an eponymous first
release created a work that ranks with the classics of the cosmic space
rock genre. The group emerged from a political commune in Stuttgart in
southwest Germany in early 1969 where it was a multimedia project that
combined music with film, slides, and poems. The original group
consisted of two Germans, Fritz Scheyhing on Mellotron and organ and
Wolf Conrad "Conny" Veit on guitar and vocals, as well as Walter
Wiederkehr from Switzerland on bass and Daniel Alluno from Bordeaux,
France, on drums. Stuttgart, with its university and arts academy, was a
fertile place with many rock festivals and parties, especially at the
end of the '60s, and Gila had no problem finding gigs, though the group
did have to shorten its name from the original Gila Fuck because the
vice squad kept showing up wherever they played. By 1971, the band had
gained local fame with a creative blend of Pink Floyd-inspired space
rock with long psychedelic jams and in June of that year, they entered
the studios of Dieter Dierks to record their first album. The eponymous
record, often referred to by the title Free Electric Sound, was released
later that year by the BASF label. The group broke up the next year and
Alluno soon went on to Sameti while Veit joined Popol Vuh, at which
time they started doing the soundtracks for Werner Herzog films. By
1974, Veit was ready to re-form Gila, this time enlisting Popol Vuh
bandmates Florian Fricke on keyboards and Daniel Fichelscher on drums,
as well as vocalist Sabine Merbach. The group's sound was very
different, dispensing with the wild acid jams for mellower acoustic
rock. Given their pedigree, the new group sounded almost like Popol Vuh
at the time, though performing Veit's compositions rather than Fricke's.
Whereas the early Gila constantly performed live, this new version of
the group was mostly studio-only, with just one live appearance on a
television cultural show. Again in Dierks' studio, they recorded the
album Bury My Heart in Wounded Knee in the summer of 1973. As the title
suggests, this was a concept album about the genocide of Native
Americans and later that year, it was released by Warner. After Veit
toured France with Amon Düül II in the winter of 1973-1974, the second
Gila broke up in the middle of 1974 as Fricke and Fichelscher focused
much more on Popol Vuh and Veit briefly joined Guru Guru before he moved
on to other groups and eventually became a freelance painter. Though
most of the first Gila's live shows went unrecorded, in 1999 Garden of
Delights released Night Works, a Cologne concert from early 1972 that
had aired live on the radio. Rolf Semprebon
