'''Proud Flesh''' is a German [[Rock music|rock]] [[Musical ensemble|band]] from the early [[Krautrock]] era. The band was formed in 1969 in the former diplomat's city of [[Bad Godesberg|Bonn-Bad-Godesberg]] ([[Germany]]) and split up in 1972. The group had been made up of musicians of the local bands [http://coolstove.info/ Cool Stove], [http://desperados.myrockspace.de/ Desperados], Hangmen and Rats.
The band's repertoire consisted of their own songs and, depending on the [[Band (Music)|line-up]], interpretations of [[Deep Purple]], [[Spooky Tooth]], [[Led Zeppelin]], [[Ten Years After]], [[Steppenwolf (band)|Steppenwolf]], [[Elvis Presley|Elvis]], [[Black Sabbath]], [[Chicago (band)|Chicago]], [[Free (band)|Free]], [[Jimi Hendrix]], [[Vanilla Fudge]], [[The Nice|Nice]] et al.
Proud Flesh toured all over [[Germany]], did gigs in [[Luxembourg]] and were the supporting act for famous bands such as [[The Lords (Band)|The Lords]], [[The Rattles]], [[Golden Earring]] and [[Brian Auger]] and The Trinity ("[[Streetnoise]]" album).
After some pieces of Softrock at the start and melodical [[Progressive rock]] songs later on the music of the band became more and more [[hard rock]] like. From the final [[chord (music)|chord]] of Proud Flesh up to now two songs have been included in productions of a more recent date (CD/LP).
