THE SURFANAUTS / RED HOT 54 - Surf meet Rockabilly

In the organizer's words:

THE SURFANAUTS:
Once upon a time in April 2019...
Crime Scene Ebay Classifieds

Ulli wants to buy a Gretsch 6120 Lefthand and therefore sells some things on Ebay classifieds, including an Aria Matsumoku bass.

Ulli: ...Sell Aria Bass (Matsumoku) with case....
Lisa: "I'd be interested, is there anything you can do about the price?"...
Ulli: "Sure"
Lisa: "OK, I'll take it!" ...
Ulli: "What do you want to do with it?" ....
Lisa: "Yeah, like rock'n'roll or psychobilly" ...
Ulli: "I'm a guitarist in a rock'n'roll trash band and we're still looking for a bass."

That was the first contact between Lisa and Ulli in April 2019.
At the time, Ulli's semi-existent band (still with vocals) was a disaster, the practice room was a battlefield and the concept resembled the idea of a one-liner.
Nevertheless, this disaster of hopelessly paralyzed stereotypes simply continued for another year.
Ulli was so pissed off that he wanted to quit completely. The singer had somehow vanished into thin air anyway and Lisa had the choice between quitting before she had really started or making a suggestion to keep Ulli in the music. Ulli had already talked about surfing a few times, but had relegated its realization to a galaxy far, far away. Then she said:

"We're doing surf now!!!"

The SurfAnauts were born.
Suddenly the motivation was back. The battlefield of space became a real rehearsal room, with a complete redesign. Rehearsals were finally rehearsals and the joy of music returned.

The genre provided the concept and was developed further in a very short time. It was the right time, because due to Corona, there were performance bans anyway and the clubs were closed.
Lisa and Ulli searched for surf classics that were either very well known or lost gems that were just waiting to be reinterpreted by The SurfAnauts and then brought back to life in the glow of the stage lights.

".... we hadn't even realized that we were the only surf rock band in Schleswig-Holstein until then...." (quote from Ulli and Lisa). Thus, "The SurfAnauts" represent the coolest subgenre of rock'n'roll with the status of a unique selling point here in the northernmost federal state.
The aim is to spread the surf sound to all corners of the country and the world until they haunt the catacombs as surf zombies accompanied by brute fuzz, delay and reverb-soaked clubs.

RED HOT 54 - rye roll made in Bremen!

For over 15 years, RED HOT 54 from Bremen have been living proof that rock'n'roll doesn't age - it just gets better styled! Since 2010, Olaf (guitar/vocals), Daniel (doghouse bass) and Uli (drums/back vocals) have been shaking the stages of this country - with pomade in their hair, swing in their hips and the sound of the 50s in their blood.

Whether Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, Elvis, the Stray Cats or Johnny Kidd and the Pirates - RED HOT 54 don't just cover classics, they resurrect them! There are also plenty of their own songs, which sound just as good as if they had fallen straight out of a smoky jukebox.

They have already shared the stage with rock'n'roll greats such as Alvin Stardust, Mad Sin and the Hot Wheels - in 2011, the Bremen Schlachthof shook with 800 dance-crazed fans at the "Rockabilly Earthquake". And in 2012 came the album Goose Creek Blues - packed with hot rhythms and cracking guitar riffs.

Conclusion: If you miss RED HOT 54, you miss rock'n'roll!
So: Fix your hair, put on your petticoat and off you go to the next gig - because when RED HOT 54 play, dancing is compulsory!

Admission: FREE !!!
