5/8erl in Ehr'n - 20 Years of Viennese Soul - The Anniversary Show

20 Years of Wiener Soul

An institution in the Austrian music scene is celebrating its 20th anniversary. 5/8erl in Ehr’n have made perhaps the coziest and most laid-back contribution to Austropop with their WIENER SOUL. It started as an insider tip with groovy dialect songs and references to the traditional Viennese song, but soon, with their first hit SIASSE TSCHICK, they were headed towards FM4 and pop culture. The band’s oeuvre is diverse, just like their audience. Their song BADESCHLUSS is the comforting, melancholic closing song in the Viennese baths and made the band legendary, from Schafbergbad to Gänsehäufel. The chorus of VAPORIZER is sung with just as much confidence in Berlin as it is in Graz. "As if Stevie Wonder had smoked a Sachertorte!" it says in Bayerischer Rundfunk. A lively evening is guaranteed, showcasing the full range of the band: from heartfelt ballads to comedic burlesques. Let’s all celebrate together, let’s cut the birthday cake, it’s wonderful that the 5/8erl exist!
