Octopus Concert History

1) Octopus was originally a German progressive rock band which shifted to a more commercial hard rock style in the early 1980s. They are mainly remembered for the three albums released by Sky Records between 1976 and 1980. The band's sound during that period was defined by the powerful alto voice of Jennifer Hensel, whose sometimes gritty sound has been compared to Janis Joplin and Jenny Haan.
