Tyburn Tall originated from a 60s German beat band called The Screamers, eventually changing style when becoming influenced by the likes of The Nice, Colosseum, and other bands that they toured with. Like Frumpy and Renaissance, they drew in a wide variety of complex classical and hard-rock influences into their music. Members were Hanns Dechant (drums, percussion), Klaus Fresenius (vocals), Rheinhard Magin (keyboards, vocals), Stefan Kowa (bass, vocals), and Werner Gallo (guitar).
