Our last (non official) gig was in trio with Hans somewhere in Upper Austria two weeks ago, with an extended version of all our Rilke songs. Now we were finally back in the original line up to play my poet’s love on two Serbian festivals. Nobody of us ever heard the name Kragujevac (150 km south-east of Belgrade) before - now we do as we loved it from the very beginning! Warm sun light, lively town with thousands of cafes and an exceptionally friendly crew  - we even got water and fruits for our ride in the shuttle with our personal ...

Altdorf – Alpentöne Internationales Musikfestival

Our flight to Zürich Airport was nice and short...although I am pretty sure that the distance between each row of seats becomes smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller everytime...as we were traveling to mathias’ homeland and he knows the train system by heart we followed his lead from platform to platfrom, from train to train until a bus took us right where we needed to be – in the middle of this beautiful little town called Altdorf - right in front of the Wilhelm Tell monument. mathias has a special connection to this ...

With my favourite car in the world, my Saab 9,3, I got mathias and myself to our concert in Hochneukirchen in time. Hans, Ingrid, Fab and our sound engineer for tonight Thomas Egger were already setting up when we got there. mathias took one look at the venue and came running back, all excited because this place blew his mind. It is simply the most beautiful and charming attic in the world. Herbert Figlmüller discovered this place 20 years ago and decided to turn it into this magical venue. In former times this area had to constantly defend ...
