Bohren & Der Club of Gore

Writers: Thorsten Benning, Christoph Clöser, Morten Gass

Founding Bohren, members Thorsten Benning, Robin Rodenberg, Reiner Henseleit and Morten Gass started playing music together in 1988. In 1997 Christoph Clöser, composer and musician, joined the band. Since then they started recording and performing regularly. Now the band has over 250 shows worldwide under their belt.

Driven by the idea of a more unique style of music, they formed Bohren (the German word for drilling) in 1992 to play, as they called it, „doom ridden jazz music“. Later the band expanded their name to Bohren & Der Club Of Gore, as a link to the Dutch instrumental band Gore, which inspired Bohren to play instrumental music.
