Formed In Herford Germany In 1968 Under The Name Psychotic Reaction The Group Changed Their Name To Missus Beastly From The Negro Doll Mistress Beastly But Was Among The First Of The Jazz-Rock Progressive Group In Germany. The Band Folded After Just One Album Recorded Soon Bootlegged With A Totally Different Artwork In Early 1970 With A Nascent Groundbreaking Jazz-Rock. It Must Be Said That The Happy-Go-Lucky Feeling Of That Era Had The Group Evolve From The Standard Prog Quartet To A Sextet And Even A Heptet Within Months Obviously Not Too Worried About Financial Matters Which Soon Brought The Band To An End. The Group Even Managed To Have Their Names Stolen From Them And An Usurping Group Managed To Release A Few Albums Under This Name. Nothing Was Then Heard From The Original Group Until The Mid-70's When Some Ex-Members United With Former Missing Link Keyboardist Miekausch Went On To Reform The Group Although Sonically If Still Jazz-Rock They Were Nothing Like Their Previous Incarnation Being Much With The Times And Sensibly More Fusion-Esque. The Group Went On To Record Three Albums With Countless Line-Up Changes But Never Managed To Reach The End Of The Decade. In 1976 Missus Beastly Founded The Musicians' Cooperative April Together With Ton Steine ​​Scherben And Embryo From Which The Self-Managed Distribution Company Schneeball Emerged. The Band Played The LP Dr. Aftershave And The Mixed Picklesa. The Cast Changed Frequently. The Constants Were Now Friedemann Josch And Burkard Schmidl From Whom The Majority Of The Compositions Came. Before They Went Their Separate Ways In The Fall Of 1979 They Released The LP Spaceguerilla In 1978 . Schmidl Continued To Play In A Trio With Drummer Marlon Klein And Bassist Norbert Dömling Who Was Brought Back Into The Band – For A While Under The Pseudonym Dr. Aftershave - From 1980 Again Under The Name Missus Beastly. The Band Finally Broke Up In 1982 Last Line-Up Burkard Schmidl Keyboards Marlon Klein Drums And Matthias Krüger Bass .
