"Gschichten aus dem Hinterland" (Stories From the boondocks) is the second album by „a daneem“. New strong, unspectacular and authentic songs in Bavarian language, musical elements of country blues and folk meet folk music, ballads alternate with swing and shuffle, always reduced to the essential. Singer, saxophonist and flutist Juli Mudra enriches the "Stories from the boondocks" not only instrumental, but also surprised with refreshing vocals.

Garden Gang
Latest release: Single "Mrs. Walker"
New single and video, “Mrs Walker”, a sampler contribution to the Little Murders tribute album, “Things Will Be Different”. A cult band in Mod/Power Pop circles across Europe, Melbourne based Little Murders achieved more success in Australia, Japan, and the U.S.A. For the time being, the CD version of the album will only be available in the U.S.A. on Twist Records.
The song was recorded and mixed by Frenzy Erl at Highline Studios in Munich and was mastered by Craig Pilkington at Audrey Studios, New York, in July, 2022.
The lyrics to “Mrs Walker”, by Rob Griffiths of Little Murders, are a snapshot of the bushfires in Australia, as the smoke and fire crept ever closer. With the rapid acceleration of climate change, wildfires are now also an increasing risk here in Europe.
Punker Donald has shot a fine vintage video to accompany the song, with Garden Gang and the landlords of the Forstnerwirt, Rottenburg an der Laaber, in their barn.

IRXN
Latest release: Gierig und geil (V.Ö. 31.3.2023)
Releasedate: 31.3.2023
In a fresh formation, the Bavarian hard-folk band IRXN has created a new masterpiece that will not only leave a musical mark on the soul of the listener, but will also lyrically resonate in the convolutions of the brain: In their new album "Gierig und geil", it is among other things about the eternal question of innocence and sin, which already occupied Goethe: Is sin true freedom? Or will it inevitably lead to its downfall? The answer to this can be found in the lively and cheerful songs such as "Goggolori", "Skol" or "FreiZeit", but also in the dark works such as "Unschuld and "Gierig und geil". With this album, IRXN also succeeds in combining ancient Bavarian-Celtic mysticism with modernity and pouring it into contemporary folk music. Peppered with many bonus tracks, the latest work by IRXN is a MUST for every HardFolk fan!

Kupfer
Latest release: World Lets Hug The A**holes
The Munich duo Kupfer, highly acclaimed by the press, is launching its second album. Songs with wonderfully wayward lyrics, driving piano passages, groovy and folky melancholic guitars, fresh drums and thoroughly intense messages. The songwriters, producers and friends Stefan Weyerer and Nick Flade deal on their second work with the world "out there" and its reflection in our inner being. They do this as usual energetically, positively, touchingly and with depth. In the ten mostly German-language songs, the copper retro synth sound combines smoothly with great lines. "The mainstream has overflowed its banks today, I've rhymed us life jackets" is said, for example, in "Steilwandkurvenstar". "Our album title may sound hippie naive. Why we chose it anyway? Our new songs tell about that and much more," says singer and guitarist Stefan Weyerer.

LustfingeR
Latest release: Walk Into The Fire (Durchs Feuer gehen)
For the album which LustfingeR released for the 40th anniversary, they asked Jean Beauvoir, the US singer and multi-instrumentalist who played with Gary U. S. Bonds, Plasmatics, Little Steven & the Disciples of Soul, Crown of Thorns and worked as a songwriter for the Ramones and Kiss, if he would like to contribute a song to the anniversary album. Jean immediately recorded his Ramones classic "Bonzo Goes to Bitburg" with them. After hearing all the songs for the album, he picked out the ballad "Durchs Feuer gehen" and produced the English version "Walk Into The Fire". Jean really liked the song so much that he wants to release it on his next album as well. Tom, singer and mastermind of LustfingeR and Jean decided to produce a duet single with the song, which is now available.

Nadine Maria Schmidt
Latest release: Blauer Mond
Blue light. Emergency. After birth surgery. After surgery, intensive care. Between beeps, tubes and ventilation sounds lie fates. Days, weeks, months. Years.
Little prodigies in plastic trays. Next to them, if they are lucky, mom or dad. If they are lucky, they survive it all. The child - and mom and dad too.
The diagnosis is terminally ill. But a child is a child is a child and every day with him a gift. And maybe this makes such a diagnosis much more conscious. A song for all parents of sick children or children with disabilities and at the same time an encouragement to all expectant parents to carry children with diseases or disabilities, to accept and to believe in themselves and their child.

Stefan F. Huber & Jazzbirds
Latest release: feat. Regina Guinee
The Jazzbirds are a group of professional musicians in the Munich jazz scene, coming from Germany, the USA and Brazil. Since the band’s formation in 1996, they have honed their own, emotional style to create a blend of melodic contemporary jazz, spiced with a pinch of Latin. The result is an individual sound, emotional and exciting, encompassing jazz harmony and the rhythms of Latin, Swing and Fusion music. The band’s music allows room for improvisation, catchy tunes and a lot of rhythm. The Big Band arrangements and dialogue of trumpet and saxophone are characteristic of the band’s sound. The Brazilian Bossa Nova singer Regina Guinée wrote the lyrics for four of the songs by composer and guitarist Stefan F. Huber, and she sings them in her native Portuguese. The songs appeared on the band’s third CD, „Elisation“, published in 2013. The Extra-Maxi-Download-Single „Stefan F. Huber & Jazzbirds feat. Regina Guinée“ is a compilation of these songs with Regina Guinée’s lyrics, she sings by herself.
Line-up:
Regina Guinée (voc), Karl Lehermann (tp, flh), Stephan Reiser (ts, cl),

Williams Wetsox
Latest release: Live in Dieter Üblers 'Village'
The concert for the 40th anniversary of Williams Wetsox on 04.01.2020 in the legendary Village was recorded by youngster Manolo Stäblein.
Williams Wetsox are
Williams Fändrich (Ges.Git.)
Mario Fix (Organ)
Alex Bartl (drums)
Musical guests at titles 1 & 5 on this evening: Thomas Gugger (drums), Marcel Pölitz (bass), Jan Eschke( Fender Rhodes piano and organ at "koa Gschroa")
A few words must be said about the Village, because Williams Wetsox also played here right at the beginning of the opening more than 30 years ago, back then the club was still in Obereglefing, now it's in Habach since 1997. The district of Weilheim-Schongau has 34 communities - and Habach with its 1000 inhabitants is one of the smallest of them. But one can state without exaggeration: At least among musicians Habach is world famous. Just ask rock legends like "The Animals", "Ten Years After", "Lake" or Jon Lord from "Deep Purple": they all performed in the Habach "Village". Of course the 40th anniversary of Williams Wetsox was celebrated there and recorded.
