Marble Breaks And Iron Bends - The Hit Revue

An evening with Prof. Christian Bruhn

According to Wikipedia, Carinthian musicians may well have played a small part in the avalanche of hits that hit German pop music after the war thanks to ▸ CHRISTIAN BRUHN: "Bruhn spent the Second World War with his sister and his mother between 1940 and 1945 in Carinthia (Austria), where he was influenced by Austrian folk music."

After the war, Christian Bruhn took piano lessons in Hamburg, studied harmony and counterpoint, studied composition and clarinet at the Musikhochschule and played as a professional pianist in jazz combos. In 1953, he wrote the music for a short film for the first time. In 1956, he began working as a sound assistant at Spezial Record, where he later worked as a freelance arranger and producer. In 1959, Bruhn met the publisher Peter Meisel. Together with Meisel, he founded the soon extremely successful Hansa Musik Produktion as a production company, music publisher and record label.

Together with lyricist ▸ GEORG BUSCHOR, he scored his first million-selling hit in 1960, the song Midi-Midinette sung by CONNY FROBOESS. In 1962, the duo won the German Schlager Festival with Conny Froboess with the song Zwei Kleine Italiener.

In 1962, Bruhn met MANUELA, who, together with CHARLOTTE MARIAN, Bruhn's wife at the time, formed a girl group and took on the role of soloist. With a German version of Blame It On The Bossa Nova, this group was successful right from the start and became a million-seller. Bruhn composed and/or produced at least 16 titles for Manuela.

In 1963, Bruhn and Meisel came across DRAFI DEUTSCHER at a talent competition, who subsequently stormed the charts with several hits written by the Bruhn team. The million-seller Marmor Stein und Eisen bricht, sung by Drafi Deutscher and penned by Bruhn, and its English version Marble Breaks And Iron Bends eventually made it to the Olympus of evergreens. As a composer and/or producer, Bruhn subsequently characterised the style of Drafi Deutscher with at least 30 titles.

Liebeskummer lohnt sich nicht, written for the Swede SIW MALMKVIST, also became a million-seller in 1964.

MIRELLE MATHIEU's first major German-language hit, Hinter den Kulissen von Paris, which appeared in 1969, was composed and produced by Bruhn. He composed and produced over 100 other songs for her, including the million-sellers Akropolis Adieu and La Paloma Ade.

Bruhn achieved another major international success at the 1970 Eurovision Song Contest with the song Wunder gibt es immer wieder, sung by Bruhn's future wife KATJA EBSTEIN. Bruhn himself was at the conductor's desk at the time. Bruhn was involved in over 100 other music titles for Katja Ebstein as a producer and/or composer.

WENCKE MYHRE, FREDDY QUINN, ROY BLACK, MICHAEL KUNZE, PETER MAFFAY, ROBERTO BLANCO (Ein bisschen Spaß muss sein) and MICHAEL SCHANZE (Oh wie wohl ist mir) also sang Bruhn, and not only them.

Heidi became a huge hit. Written by Bruhn and sung by the folk music duo GITTI UND ERIKA GOETZ, the film score to the Japanese TV series of the same name sold over 40 million copies worldwide.

What happened in the 80s? You'll have to find out for yourself ▸ on Wikipedia (unfortunately only in german language - please use a translation programme).

For now we can sit back, relax and look forward to a very special evening with PROF. CHRISTIAN BRUHN at the EBOARDMUSEUM.

Oh yes, and don't forget to book your seats in good time...

Yet Another Floyd

Pop History - Best Of Pink Floyd

YET ANOTHER FLOYD is THE Austrian PINK FLOYD tribute band. The elaborate show with ten musicians from Upper Austria claims to be a performance true to the original.

"A large part of the band has already successfully played shows with the music of PINK FLOYD 25 years ago," says singer and band leader Reinhard "Fussy" Petershofer. Great importance is attached to the original sound. Months of tinkering were done to perform  live e.g. the guitar sound of David Gilmour as perfect as possible.

A time travel through more than 40 years of PINK FLOYD history will be presented. In addition to rarities, the very big hits like Another Brick In The Wall, Time or Wish You Were Here are of course on the setlist. With their music, the sounds and the visual design of their records and stage performances, PINK FLOYD created an unmistakable and, at the time, completely new style that shaped the listening habits of generations in rock and pop music and thus set standards.

YET ANOTHER FLOYD offers the audience a concert evening with distinctive, sophisticated and spherical rock music, played live and packed into a stage show with bombastic sound.

Wolfgang A.

Ollas Leiwaund am Zentralfriedhof

(Everything at its best at Vienna Central Cemetery)

ROCK HISTORY: GEORG DANZER, WOLFGANG AMBROS
On the 50th anniversary of two legendary Austro Pop albums

April 1975: Wolfgang Ambros - Es lebe der Zentralfriedhof (Long Live The Vienna Central Cemetery)
October 1975: Georg Danzer - Ollas leiwaund (Everything Is Fine)

Within just six months, Austro Pop, which was still quite young at the time, experienced two eruptive releases that are still considered milestones 50 years later. And quite rightly so!

On 2 May, the band WOLFGANG A will play both albums for the first time (and who knows, perhaps for the last time?), each in their entirety and in their original order, plus singles and B-sides from 1975 that were not released on these long-playing records. The local pop history special will be complemented by suitable text excerpts from Ambros and Danzer biographies.

Beach Band

The 25 Years Beach Band Gala - Part 1

Almost exactly to the day, the BEACH BAND has been in the service of good vibrations for 25 years!

What was originally planned as a pure Beach Boys tribute now includes, not entirely illogically, the great hits of the Flower Power era as well as, for some years now, endearing songs with style from the - well, not entirely uncontroversial - Lemon Popsicle-films.

HARRY HOLLER, THOMAS GOSCHAT, ROLF HOLUB and GERT PRIX look back on 25 exciting years in a double concert - each with a different programme, of course.

From the beginnings at Lake Wörthersee to the Donauinselfest (German for "Danube Island Festival", Vienna).

The 25 Years Beach Band Gala - Part 2

Attention, NO REPEAT of the programme from the previous day, but a continuation!

And who knows: Maybe there will be a matinee on Sunday at 10:00 am to round off this super event ?!

Cat Stevens Tribute Band

Pop History: Cat Stevens (Yusuf Islam)

Who doesn't know the great hits by CAT STEVENS: Father And Son, Moonshadow, Morning Has Broken, Wild World...

His songs convey a time when "all things were tall and our friends were small". Immerse yourself in this time with ALBERT EIGNER and his tribute band.

Eigner has dedicated himself to the life and work of the world star for many years. With his band AL & THE FIRECATS, he played numerous Cat Stevens tribute concerts from 2003 to 2010, including several in England. In a two-hour programme, he sings Cat Stevens' greatest hits, talks about important episodes from his life and tries to give the audience an understanding of the content of his song lyrics.

Eigner has also written a biography of Cat Stevens and recorded his songs in German (CD "Tee für Yusuf/Cat Stevens").

Badhoven

Rock Thru Ages - The Best Of Badhoven

Melodic hard rock meets melodic metal

BADHOVEN give you riff rockers with clear structures that are immediately catchy - unmistakable, straightforward and unadorned! Badhoven is inspiring hard rock with the Made in Austria seal of quality.

Founded in July 2001, Badhoven released their debut album Behind The Masquerade in October of the same year. The first radio interviews followed, and Badhoven could be heard on several private radio stations in Germany, Holland, England, Italy and Austria. In 2003, Badhoven also became known in South America. On Rockum-Magazine they were number 1 in the charts for a long time, ahead of a well-known band like Skid Row! Radio appearances followed in Peru (Lima), Argentina and Brazil.

The album Believe was released in 2005. 10 great hard rock songs and the video of the title song opened up new ways for Badhoven to present themselves to an ever-growing audience. The melodic hard rockers not only impressed musically at the live CD presentation at Explosiv in Graz, but also with an excellent stage show.

In 2011, Badhoven released the single CD I Will Be There, including a video of the title track. The third Badhoven album followed in 2013: Obsession is a firework of great hard rock and melodic rock songs.

All The World's a Fake, the last studio album to date, followed in 2019 and was accompanied by a great video for the title track.

In March 2024, Badhoven released his best-of album Rock Thru Ages. With the best songs from 27 years plus a few live tracks in his luggage, Badhoven is rocking the stages in Germany and Austria live again!

Ian Paice

The founding member of Deep Purple returns to the Eboardmuseum

IAN PAICE, original member of probably the most famous rock band of all time, is coming to the EBOARD­MUSEUM in Klagenfurt once again!

Limited seats - we recommend booking early!

With VOODOO STRAT, IAN PAICE is once again bringing along a super Italian band. VOODOO STRAT inspires with two different live programmes: Deep Purple and Jimi Hendrix. Together with Ian Paice as well as with their fantastic Jimi Hendrix programme, we have already been able to experience them at the EBOARD­MUSEUM.

As a Deep Purple cover band, they perform time and again with IAN PAICE or DON AIREY, the drummer and keyboardist of the original DEEP PURPLE. This should be enough to describe the exceptional quality of the band:

UDO TRIBUTE BAND

HITS, CLASSICS AND RARITIES BY THE UNFORGOTTEN UDO JÜRGENS

Attention, not in the museum, but

on the Maria Wörth lake stage!

UDO JÜRGENS was born in Klagenfurt. That is well known. A large part of the UDO TRIBUTE BAND also comes from the Klagenfurt area. GERT PRIX, mastermind of the UDO TRIBUTE BAND, was also born in Klagenfurt and attended the same conservatory as the great entertainer.

The UDO TRIBUTE BAND was founded back in 2011 and had the full approval of the unique artist. He made this known in a personal letter, a silent distinction and a great honour for the entire band.

Even as a child, Gert Prix played the legendary Udo hits of the sixties - then still called chansons - on the piano, much to the annoyance of his piano professor, who - as was customary at the time - drew a strict line between serious and popular music. A boundary that Udo repeatedly dissolved in his life's work and very successfully declared superfluous.

The fact that Gert even shared the stage with Udo himself for an entire evening when he was almost 20 years old was perhaps the unconscious spark that led to the founding of the UDO TRIBUTE BAND a few decades later.

The other members of the UDO TRIBUTE BAND, some older and some younger, also found their personal connection to the huge repertoire of the most successful German-speaking singer's more than 50-year career in the course of their lives.

Over the course of two evenings, the eight-strong UDO TRIBUTE BAND presented the entire spectrum, from the largely well-known beginnings to genuine rarities and the unrivalled classics of the great entertainer UDO JÜRGENS, with both respect and passion.
