Jan Plewka sings Rio Reiser, second part!
WANN, WENN NICHT JETZT? again collects songs from the time of Rio Reiser's solo career, but focuses on the songs from the Ton Steine Scherben years. Jan Plewka and Die Schwarz-Rote Heilsarmee bring the music of the Scherben into the present. The songs have become darker and harder. The will to change back then, is charged with the rage about today's conditions and made palpable. So the happy hits and tender love songs have given way to political and combative songs. No more "King of Germany," no more "June Moon." Played are "Jenseits von Eden", "Warum geht es mir so dreckig?" and "Macht kaputt, was Euch kaputt macht".
A big, powerful and image-rich show that moves between theater, performance and concert. And Jan Plewka once again walks in the footsteps of Rio Reiser, making his songs his own on stage. This music is not at all yesterday's music, said the Hamburger Abendblatt.
Lineup:
Jan Plewka (vocals), Lieven Brunckhorst (piano, saxophone), Marco Schmedtje (guitar),
Dirk Ritz (bass), Martin Engelbach (drums)
