17. Mai 2008 BLUESPUMPM
20.00 Uhr, Dienersdorf - Pöllau / Stmk. - BLUESFIEBER
Nach 30 Jahren sagt man der Pumpm noch immer nach - sie hätten NICHTS an ihrer Spielfreude und Urwüchsigkeit in den Jahren verloren - im Gegenteil: man bezeichnet sie als Urgesteine in der Musikszene, oder es gibt Aussprüche über die Pumpm wie: “Es ist wie beim Wein - je älter desto besser.” Man nennt Zappa den Wiener Tom Waits …..ja die Bluespumpm wird zu Lebzeiten schon liebevoll als Legende bezeichnet.
Seit kurzem hat die Bluespumpm in ihrem Reisegepäck auch die akustischen Gitarren eingepackt und damit graben sie nach Blueswurzeln in der Bluespumpmgeschichte.
CD - “DIRTY THIRTY open hearts” - Bestes Album - Blues & Roots international Platz 3.
29. März 2008 Zappa & Judith
19.30 Uhr, Best Wild West, Herbststr. 15, 1160 Wien
Das musikalisch Unwahrscheinliche verbindet sich … auf der einen Seite Blues-Harp, E-Gitarre und Gesang von Flüstern bis markante Rockröhre (”Zappa” Johann Cermak - Frontman der “Bluespumpm”), auf der anderen Seite Geige, Banjo, Gitarre (”Judith Pechoc”), Cello, Tin Whistle (”Nadja Milfait”) und deren Stimmen - “The Wild Irish Lasses”. Das Resultat ist kraftvoll und ganz anders als man annehmen würde.
31. Mai 2008 MIKSCH & die KODA KOMISCH KOMBO
20.00 Uhr
Bootshaus
Harlander Straße 28, St.Pölten
Alex Miksch Gitarrist und Liedermacher,
er-findet mit diesem Programm den König der Kröten, eine Metapher für den sensiblen Menschen, gefangen in einer Gesellschaft des Scheins.
Im Tschiknebel der Alkohol durchtränkten Bar erlebt er sein Scheitern, immer noch lebendig genug, sich mitteilen zu wollen in der Beschwerde des Blues.
Neben den eigenen Liedern huldigt Miksch
Größen wie Tom Waits, Bob Dylan und Jimi Hendrix,… übersetzt diese liebevoll in österreichische Mundart. Dabei versteht er sich gut darauf, der Bedeutung der Lieder und deren einzigartigem Esprit gerecht zu werden.

Georg Schmelzer-Ziringer - Kontrabass

18. Juli 2008 BALLYCOTTON
20.00 Uhr, Wackelsteinfestival, Amaliendorf, NÖ
From the very beginning, the folk band Ballycotton has seen itself as a global turntable bringing together different cultures throughout the world. Therefore the term “Irish folk” is much too restrictive to describe this unique musical project. It is right and fitting that Ballycotton is named after an Irish fishing village, where its founder Alex Koenig spent many happy childhood days. Ireland is, and always will be, one of the leading nations in music in Europe. So it is no surprise that Ireland is the only country which has an instrument on its flag - the Irish harp. For more than 1000 years there has been an efficient cultural interchange between Ireland and Austria. Irish monks brought Christianity to the heathen tribes in Austria. In the year 1003, the Irish monk ‘Koloman’ became a martyr in Austria, and in 2003 Ballycotton played a concert in commemoration in the halls of the monastery in Melk, where the remains of this saint are buried. Ballycotton originated in Lower Austria, which lies in the east of Austria, where Asian and European tribes clashed for thousands of years. A positive result of this was that an open-minded and jovial type of man started to evolve, attached to the fine arts, and for whom it was normal to combine different cultural influences to form a harmonious whole. Ballycotton want to continue that tradition. The band successfully merges the musical styles from different cultures, letting them develop into something special, something completely new.
