Frank Spilker (Die Sterne)
In the organizer's words:
Frank Spilker reads from: "Ich scheiß auf deutsche Texte"
(and plays a few songs on the guitar)
Frank Spilker and his band "Die Sterne" have shaped the local (underground) pop scene like few others in recent decades. In the early 1990s, he revolutionized songwriting with his lyrics and also the way lyrics are perceived in this country. Each of the now dozen or so Sterne albums captivates not only with its music, but equally with Spilker's lyrics, appealing (and still appealing) to music fans, hermeneutics, MTV viewers and feature writers alike.
Every lyricist hopes, at least secretly, to find a new language of their own. Spilker has succeeded. "Ich scheiß auf deutsche Texte" contains over 100 of Spilker's texts. From the first songs released on cassette by the Bad Salzuflen cult label "Fast Weltweit" in the mid-1980s to the last Sterne album "Hallo Euphoria" released in 2022.
At his reading, Frank Spilker will read from the book published by Ventil Verlag in 2023 and explain and musically comment on his lyrics.
"I think of Frank Spilker every time I drink coffee (and champagne), which is quite often. Because I also leave my mark with my cup (and the glass), and nobody pours the dimensions of life into enigmatic and revealing images as poetically as he does. High time to read it all - before the clock jumps to zero." - Jenni Zylka
"Nobody dreams more beautifully through the ruins of what could have been than Frank Spilker." - Robert Stadlober
"The STERNE's lyrics are a universe in themselves. And make the world shine. I love them abysmally. Viva Euphoria." - Johann König
