Tonight here in Munich our Countryboys from Berlin have probably received their biggest compliment ever, and they are not even aware of it. Because next to me in the audiance, long time after the official photocall, two american guys show a lot of enthusiasm about the Boss Hoss performance. And one says to the other: 'where are these two singers from'? - And the other answers: 'Oh you can hear that, they are americans from Texas of course'.- Wauw, this is very impressing. Because immitating the texas slang so perfectly, that not even an american recognizes that they are not even native english speaking guys, this is more than difficult. How Alec and Sasha a.k.a. Boss and Hoss do it, - I really don't know.
I myself have lived for 5 yeas in Great Britain and learned the language much better than only from school here . And I still use the language. But I only have to say a very few words, and evey english or american guy would immidiately ask me: 'are you german'. Well I could say no, but not because I do not have an accent, - but I'm really not german but austrian. Never mind, that not relevant for our brothers and sisters in oversea, as they can't make a difference between a german or austrian or swiss accent. But beeing a german and get mixed up with a 100% texan JR Ewing relative is somehow remarkable.

And this is probably one of two reasons why Boss and Hoss demonstrate their cool slogans and announcements between the songs in this brought american slang. The other reason is simply imagecare. Well you could both reasonst put into one.
Aprox. 2.500 fans of Countryrock have gathered at the Zenith, which usually fit in about 6.000 people. So this venue seems rather empty. But for the next smaller place it's too much on the other hand.
The show itselves has approved since last time. And because this huge stage give you a lot of movement freedom, they use the opportunity in a stretched out way. Boss and Hoss and the rest of the Dalton Brothers gang are doing a lot of solo stints. This is a party, which it couldn't be nicer, exept on the party of the oil barons in Texas on the Southfork Ranch. Digger Barnes says hello and JR sends his nasty smile. But over all, how shall I describe it, it seems so easy, although it is very difficult to tune the words and the music in an absolut perfect way. It's amazing how BossHoss manage this all the time. I presume it's a matter of many years of practice. Boss who's always been and still is the darling of all ladies, takes this chance with a sexy move of his hips, and it has got it's effect as all the females in here melt in the sun like hot vanillaice. Hoss rather seems like a cuddly teddybear. He prefers his lager beer, which is fixed to the microphone just in case...

The rest of the glory Seven ain't bad as well. Whether it's Tobias „Ernesto Escobar de Tijuana“ Fischer,who's got the magic eye glimpse or Stefan „Russ T. Rocket“ Buehler on guitar. Andre' „Guss Brooks“ Neumann is handling the bass and the washboard, mandoline and harp is played by Malcolm „Hank Williamson“ Arison.Ansgar „Frank Doe“ Freyberg is standing behind the drumkit to overlook the scenery clearly.
But most of all it's the two front rodeo riders Alec „Boss Burns“ Völkel and Sascha „Hoss Power“ Vollmer, who dominate the galopp, not on two texan horses but on two Munich Bar stoals made of mahagony wood.

The hot chilli we get served by BossHoss is spiced by Internashville Urband Hymns, Rodeo Radio and Stallion Battalion and dipped by special effects on the imaginary open fire cooket to great Country Rock music. And every Cowboy and Girl likes the taste, no question about that. To be honest, before this day I was a bit suspecious, whether the fire to success Boss Hoss started about 4 years ago is gonna die sooner or later. But after this here, I doubt it. The fire still burns very high, at least here in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.... Howdy the Squaw has spoken....
