Even as a child he observed people and mocked them a little. With his own sense of humor, as he tells it. Later they turned into stories that Bananz poured into songs. About guys next door.
After reading English texts at the beginning (“they were grammatically hell”), he wrote in dialect for the first time at the age of 19. That felt good for the qualified electrician, but he kept it to himself for a long time.
Bananz has been letting the interested public participate for a number of years. With “Philosophen im Saustall” he is releasing a new album this week, which he will present with his band in Linz on September 1st.
There you will be able to experience the passionate musician with the idiosyncratic voice, the stories from the area and the energetic blues-rock mixture live. “When I go on stage, I slip into a role. When I play, it’s important to me that I’m someone else, that I can really let myself go,” says the 43-year-old. Privacy is important to him. So much is allowed: born in Lower Austria, grew up in Linz, now in the Mühlviertel with wife and child at home. It doesn’t need more. His music speaks for him.
