Der Schlaeger - Blogs CD out


The last few years Zappi has been involved in a band project called Der Schlaeger. From the band website: "The music of "DER SCHLAEGER" is a combination of typical german "Schlager" music and kind of abstract and aggressive instrumental overlays. The lead vocals definitly represent the original harmonies and lyrics of the "Schlager" whereas the vocalist live performance has a more punky attitude.
SCHLAGER: typical german popular songs mainly from the 60ies. Very easy tunes with easy lyrics."

The CD BLOGS is released by Dirter, and is limited to 1000 copies. Divided into 4 blogs, it contains 23 tracks altogether, and is a nice mix of strange experimental soundscapes, and the German Schlaeger songs sung very nicely by Karin Meier.

A dvd will also be released.
