The word Schelmish means about the same like beeing cheek. And it is a
rather ancient impression, not beeing used too often nowadays in german
language. Our Boys and Girl here certainly do own an individual special
kind of humor, which is spread on to us for the fourth time at the
Spektakulum Mundi Club here in Munich. For me myself it's only the very
first time checking them out. And I have to confess, that this german
middleage rockband have got this special little something, a huge aura,
lust for life and entertainment. I presume it is because of inovation,
madness and pleasure to play.
The almost family affair keeps going for about eight years now in the
german middleage rockscene and performs their special kind of music and
nonsense. Most of all, everything is very un conventially. Nothing seems
artifical and very spontanious. Though I guess, the striptease in the
middle of the set, somehow belongs to it and is part of a Schelmish show.
One thing is for sure, - a Schelmish show is a true comedy persiflage,
which made this project to an institution in this circles.
The big boss give an okay, still dressed in every day's clothes of 2007 or
2002 - never mind... and announces the supportact named: 'Men who
make Love' Strange name, ain't it?!
Those two paradisebirds come on straight away and consist of one
ex-Schelmish guy, and one Schelmish Road dog. But they are the best prove,
that you can make big things of little occasions. It starts wie the fancy
instruments and the even more fancy clothes, probably designed from
themselves. Gianni Versage would turn around in his grave if he could spot
this.The result of this suportslot is a very often used backpipe and some
drums and these two are more than entertaining and we are
having a good laugh..
.
Almost
immidiately, when they have finished, the stars of tonight hit the stage.
And they are: Daddy Dextro (nicht Energen) - Sackpfeifen,
Bouzouki, flut, Drehleier, Bombarde, Schalmei, voc,
guit),
Mama DesDemonia – (Sackpfeifen,
Schalmei, Bouzouki, voc) Sprössling
Rimsbold
von Tiefentann – (voc, Sackpfeifen, Schalmei, flut, Harfe, Percussion), Luzi das L an (Sackpfeifen,
Schalmei,Bouzouki), Dschieses (Drums, Schlagwerk, Percussion, violin),
Marquis DeGuis -(guit, Bouzouki), Johannes der Säufer
(Bass), Picus von Corvin -(Davul, Percussion, Sampling, E-percussion) and
finally Fragor der Schlagfertige (Schlagwerk, Percussion, Sampling, Key´s).
.
Wauw – that was hard now, and I bet with myself, in at least two days I
have forgotten who is who and playing whatsoever. But in the end it
doesn't matter,
because within the
Schelmish Family everybody does everything anyway.
But
who has said, that they are fat and antisocial? Yeah okay, the big boss
has some nice little beerbelly which certainly belongs to the latest
middle age phantasy fashion line and within this sophisticated atmosphere.
And like father like son - congratulation, the evolution is throughout
visible. Small, bit and comfortable is a saying over here, whereby the
word small rather fits to the little Something on the very left on stage.
But this one dosn't care, takes the fun outta himself and does a
striptease in the middle of the set, that even Pamela Anderson would
become pale in her breast implants.

Holy
shit! Little Luzi L. is a real professional indeed. He should think about
getting a second job within the Chippendales besides this one here of
course. Because noone here would like to miss him as the highlight of the
show. And again... inbetween all these luvely melodies, Papa Dextro
entertains the audiance with funny, sometimes ironic stories, like for
instance his love for stupid journalists, followed by the song 'Pank'. Or
about the fact, that he and DesDemonia are dealing with each other for
almost a quarter of a century within a relationship. The answer is '22
Jahre'. The audiance is grateful, cheers the band up, and receives
compliments again like: 'I can remember the name of your horse but not
about your one'. Or he remembers a bet, where the guy who can drink 8
pints of beer at once, will spend three days with the band on the road.
This man is here tonight and gets the deal now.
No honestly, this here has nothing to do with antisocial, but rather with
some tough humour, which castrates normal things in a nice way. Only the
attitude towards America, I don't agree really. The Americans voted their
politicians, so they wanted this government - right?! But apart from that,
politics is politics, and entertainment is entertainment, so leave the
politics at home for now. Me for my part will continue to fly to Hawaii,
no question and no matter who is leading this country. The answer comes
straight away with a rather amusing version of June Carter-Cash's Hymn
'Ring Of Fire'. The song, her husband Johnny Cashrose up to fame with. It
is already the second of two encores. The last one is a track named
'Kalifenzorn' with the Outro 'So Allein', and an really entertaining
evening with a middle age atmosphere is coming to an end and last but not
least Papa Schelmish's comment: 'I have never talked that much like
tonight'.
And now a nice little cigarette outside the building. By the way, our
bavarian bees seems to be quite popular by this lot from the Rheinland (further
north part of Germany) Okay that's it, I don't wanna do any ads for beer
here alright?! Except Schelmish of course.
