TOP TEN SOMMER FESTIVAL - HIGGS CHICKS (CH) + THE COOL (HH)

In the organizer's words:

"The Higgs Chicks - a Schaffhausen duo consisting of Marc Zimmermann and Beat Wipf. Bassist Zimmermann, originally from Hamburg, played all over Europe with the Punkles and Prollhead and artist Wipf has loved the Delta blues since childhood - and at some point he started playing it. Their first album will be released in September and will be called "Doomscrolling with Kurt". The two birds call their style Kraut Country and they stalk this genre on different strings. They play their own songs and pieces by others. It's quiet and intense, loud and tender, old-fashioned and crude. If you don't sell your soul to this music, you probably don't have one." -- The COOL play a sound that the two seasoned musicians from St. Pauli (L. Paukstat and E. Marheinecke) call BARAGE music and which can best be described as such: They take Vadder's well-stocked record collection, pull out the best of it, pulverize it and then brew it up without any artificial ingredients using an old electric guitar, a suitable oldschool electric bass from the East, blues harp elements, a good shot of rum and a bass drum in bars, dives and clubs. The unmistakable result is reminiscent of the Velvet Underground, the Stones, mid-60's garage bands and Dylan. The catchy original compositions pick up the listener, grab them and make them thirsty. The current debut album "Can't help it" has been released on KLANGBAD and was recorded live and analogue by Dennis Rux in the Yeah-Yeah-Yeah-Studios in Hamburg within one day. This is exactly how it should be, and no other way! Music to get drunk! Music for red eyes! Music for the BAR! This content has been machine translated.
