WIR SIND LINZ

Opening night

If you have a chance, go to Linz and watch "WIR SIND LINZ" at the Landestheater. This is a terrific new revue about how it feels to be a teenager in Linz, written & directed by Henry Mason. I contributed lyrics & music for two songs, "Plus City" and "Herr Kitzmantel".

Opening night

Say good bye to Austria's federal broadcasting company! They're shutting down after this last effort of putting up a glittering revue with all their infamous screen celebrities and pathetic shows of the past 50 or so years. At least that is what you're going to see at Palais Nowak Tue-Sat through June 27. I wrote a couple of sketches and songs for the show. Most noticeably the opening number ("Tschüss! Das war der ORF"), a talk show with equally freaky host & guest and a spoof on good old "Am Dam Des".

And "Der gemütliche Fernsehabend" where a couple does a headcount of all the dead bodies they get to watch on an average TV evening - recalling the style of Austrian songwriters Pirron & Knapp.

I'm currently filling in for Ciro de Luca at Kabarett Simpl, so I spent new year's eve with "EIN GROSSES GWIRKS" playing an arrogant waiter, a degenerate royal, Wednesday, and other interesting characters.

The new Revue "EIN GROSSES GWIRKS" is playing at Kabarett Simpl - with new songs by Johannes Glück. "Warum san mir Ami a Weh?" - summing up why the USA are evidently a typical developing country. "u.s.w." a mock-musical-love-ballad with the lyrics consisting of abbreviations as found in the personals of Austrian magazines. And new lyrics for Yael Naim's "New soul" revealing that life and reincarnation are but a big mess, or rather "Ein grosses Gwirks".
