The song as a wake

Third World can be with the combo Kofelgschroa again go to new home tunes us. On 27 May also live in the hall crane.
That could have gone wrong clean: That makes it so at his work, tinkering manage a proper introduction - Allgäu Tschiersch Jockel, Kluftiger, Kässpatzen - only to discover to have to be that the home of Kofelgschroa so Oberammergau, not in the Allgäu but Bavaria is locates.
That's what happens when a foreign speakers, that is: Not Bayer, rather with vernacular music. Lucky. Were just still the Passion Play, the Stueckl Christian and the council of the city, which was prepared to try to come without someone to close by itself more like the contents of Wiglaf-Droste-romance may seem, for our village / The list of women / with sound judgment / Independent Member / ...
Or just the local mountain - the Kofel. Because making something fixed it, because Kofelmusik, still without Gschroa, named Matthias Meichelböck, Martin and Michael von Mücke and Maxi Pongratz in their early days in 2007 - has since classic instrumented with tenor horn, Helikontuba, flugelhorn and guitar. Later, with shouting, although this is not to be taken literally, because the four are actually quite peaceful companions. In addition, those which, besides the persistent local ties (note here: dialect) also like the love of originality, to nature - thematize - so, can this sounds so simple before. That is the water that without human intervention finds its way cast in almost meditative lines that make twice in their ambiguity as much fun, "Down's go amanda, koaner needs what do ..." (one-day seminar) Later on, the sun, wind and the light, which is watched in amazement when drying clothes - "... how beautiful it really is" (underwear).
The throaty verses, sometimes in the style of Attwenger through endless repetition become the hypnotic mantra (suction Ned / When i) to provide time through, indicated a dialogue with the listener in the best Fredl-Fesl-style (one-day seminar / earplugs), often with a fine, edgy humor "Frühner or later need a live their Schlof, most of the folks participating si time for it and a few HOLN's on in the grave" (lullaby). Because they describe the other part better than anyone should like to quote here: "It's about joy and sorrow, loneliness, or to pure satisfaction and überdruckventilische distribution."
And aspirations would like to add one to the carefree, easygoing Sandltour (14 dog), and then suddenly, directly and unequivocally then that this one life to be enjoyed straight, but an extension of the top may be granted. Closed with the artfully varied folk tune from the Hans and Lies in the upper or just Unterammergau - layered choirs, listening to the song as a wake, nice to see next to labelmates and peers are still plenty of room for something new and surprising is.
