| THE DEAD BROTHERS STORY The Dead Brother's roots fetch far in musical history. They started digging their graves in 1998. Punk rock and country blues are part of their DNA. So are the stage antics of Cab Calloway, Kurt Weill's Three penny opera and the european folklore instrumental excellency. 7 Full lenght Albums where Released on Voodoo Rhythm Records ,and countless Coopertaions with TV And Movie (BBC Documentry (The Genious of Madame Curie - 2013) and theatre (Theater Basel: 3 Penny Opera) etc. Alain Croubalian the Head of the Dead Surrounded many influential musicians around him from the Swiss Underground and Folkloristic Music Scene for ages (Landstrichmusig, Patent Ochsner, Echo, d'Giigemaa), others have a foot in theater, comedy, cinema and Vaudeville (Stadt Theater Hannover, les Trois Suisses, 9 Volt Nelly) some are orchestra directors and some italo crooners, Alain Croubalian Started his Music Career in the early 80’s with the band Les Maniacs (Stop itBaby records) in 1998 the had enough from electric music and formed the Dead Brothers the one and only Funeral Real Heavy Metal band (they had um to 5 Tubas in the band) .. and all acoustic instruments they Created the weirdest mix of Folklore and Modern Music ever came out of Switzerland ----------------------- Foundet 1989 around the Singer and Wild Man Alain Croubalian, the MANIACS, early Swiss Punk and Pierre Omer more or less what_s left of a symphony orchestra after their car crashed today. some heavy metal wind instruments (Tubas, trombones and bass saxophone) a megaphone and a top hat, a nasty french accordion and some sweet lap steel country , they called themselves the Only Real Heavy Metal Band sometimes they had up to 9 Tubas on Stage doing a Bo Diddley Beat Bringing rock_n_roll back to Europe by exploring the musical roots that led to it_s birth or what would the european music that led to rock_n_roll, sound like today? They make Satie rhyme with Birthday Party, and the Saints singing Besame Mucho. They_re a macabre rock_n_roll party and an old fashioned wedding at the same time. Need your sense of humour when they stage gruesome deaths singing Hank Williams and Jimmie Rodgers. Poison Ivy of the Cramps wrote they liked their rendering of Human Fly. The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and Tom Waits loved their records. Thomas Wydler of the Bad Seeds says their Tod Von Basel penned in the 16th century sounds pretty nasty. Toured tons with Bob Log III and England with T-Model Ford the tale dragger from Greenville, and they know personally the Reverend Beat-man himself. They are fans of The Kift, famous dutch surrealist jazz family. The Dead Brothers sing blues tunes out of ancient Europe (Totentanz) and famous cajun-core french swingh from Bombay. They_ve been called _the best funeral orchestra along with tubas and electric guitar_ and _the most bizarre act to have appeared in Europe_. Felt at home in Russia, but go as much as possible to the swiss mountains. Some say they are paradoxal. Difficult to get along with. Try good food. They started staging a travelling doctor selling some potion from table to table, storming cafis with the well-named Cirque Electrique. They wrote a musical about ...death played on a boat during the swiss national exhibition in 2002, _Day of the Dead_ featured Eleni Mandell, DJ Khan, Reverend Beatman and the whole dead family. After _Dead Music for Dead Poeple_ and _Day of the Dead_, the third Dead Brothers_ record is the soundtrack to the movie _Flammend_ Herz_ , which is about old german men covered with tattoos. It was recorded in the backstage of theaters in Switzerland, and an old swiss-german radio station. In Theater too, they got hired to sing songs about death in plays directed by Meret Matter at the Schauspielhaus in Zurich, then under Christoph Marthaler_s direction. Look forward to play Brecht and Weil_s Four Penny Opera at the Basler Opera under the direction of Lars Ole Warburg. You can hire us for circus acts, and bar-mitsvah_s, with the dead brothers every concert turns out to be a surprise. Some hate it. But again, they do funerals, not birthday parties. in 2010 a New Dead Brothers Area Begun, Changing into a DEATH FUNERAL STRING ORCHESTRA , with only Strings, the Band Turned into wild open again after several Member changes and Still Do what they do best Weird Necromantic Wild and Bizarre Java jazz Blues Oriental Exotica many mussisians involved in the Dead Brothers so far such as: Pierre Omer , Jean-Philippe Geiser, Fred Schmutz ,Denis Schuler, Dlaney Davidson, Christoph Gantert, Barbara Bagnoud, Olli Franz, Julien Israelian, Zoe Capon ,Axel Jansen, Holger Stehen, Resli Burri (padent ochsner), Jean-Jacques Pedretti, Alain Porchet, Yves Massy, Marcel Salesse, Morback, Matthias Lincke, Alain Meyer ,DJ Scratchy (the clash), magot Flück ( zeno tornado) Stefan Baumann , Patrick Kessler, Balts Dead Nill (Stiller Haas) LINE UP : Dead Alain Croubalian: vox, guitars, tenor banjo and piano Dead Jane Mumford: pauke, toms, broken stuff and shakers Dead Andrea Kirchhofer: violin Dead Dide Marfurt: emmentaler halszither, cornemuse suisse et guitare électrique Dead Matthias Lincke: violin, mandoline and choir direction Dead Tobi Zwyer: tuba and accordion Dead Leon Schaetti: helicon et cornet à piston de poche Dead Sandro Tajouri: pauke, bendir and kleine trommel Dead Resli Burri: harmonium portable, positif, wurlitzer, piano droit et choir direction Dead Bertrand Siffert : piano droit on Baron Samedi Dead Rodolphe Burger: Gainsbarre voice on Papillons Noirs |

THE DEAD BROTHERS 'angst' Format CD: VRCD106 (barcode: 7640148982719) Format LP: VR12106 (barcode: 7640148982764) Release Date: FEB.02.2018  CD: COMES IN DOUBLE GATEFOLD COVER INCL 12 SIDED BOOKLET 12" LP: + FREE CD + PRINTED INNERSLEEVE THE EDGE OF TIME PSYCHO MUSIC-NOIR FOLK FROM SWITZERLAND PLAYING SERGE GAINSBURG AND OTHER DARK TRACKS THE RECORD We are standing at the edge of the end of times. The catastrophy is imminent. La peur est partout. Fear (Angst) is Everywhere. The Dead Brothers hid in the Vosges mountains (Saintes Marie aux Mines) to take the puls of our time. They tuned into Serge Gainsbourg's Papillons Noirs with Rodolphe Burger and echoed traditional swiss yodels from the middle ages. With texts penned by the late Robert Walser and underground cineaste Marcus Aurelius Littler they tell in ANGST, 13 stories of joy and misery and about the difficulty of being human in these troubled times. Hundreds of notes by violins and tubas, banjos and wurlitzers, Cisters from Emmental and swiss bagpipes, a positif from the the vosgian mountains, acid guitars doing calypso and Voodoo choirs chanting along mould together in this new masterpiece by the legendary Dead Brothers. Who would of thought that the puzzle of european folklores that the Dead Brothers have put back together would draw the more sombre route that rock'n'roll took hidden in the alps. Mixed by engineer Excellence Bertrand Siffert (The Young Gods, Yello) it's the Dead Brothers 7th album for the bernese label Voodoo rhythm.

Black Moose is a romantic record - romantic in the darkest sense possible, a record that sheds new light on the ancient notion that all beauty emerges out of pain. Where does Friedrich Nietzsche meet central American revolutionaries and criminal bards drinking pisco sours made of kerosene with the devil himself |
