25 Jahre Route Industriekultur

Martina Kathage (vocals), Jörg Leineweber (guitar), Martina Kaufmann (accordion) and Jörg Maier (drums).
They interpret sweating, pining and sometimes screaming workers' songs, from struggle songs to popular hits.
Hannes Wader meets Gunter Gabriel, the Internationale meets Rio Reiser, the unknown meets the often-heard.
Quiet and loud, euphoric, fatalistic - sometimes deadly serious, sometimes tongue-in-cheek: it's all there!
The four musicians are rooted in the Ruhr region and have already played at various events related to industry, which has now become a cultural phenomenon (Industriemuseum Oberhausen, Schachtzeichen, St.Antony-Hütte Osterfeld, Schiffshebewerk Henrichenburg etc.).
After a long time, it's finally time to say: "... and he has already lit his bright light at night" - industrial culture!" Good luck!

16:00: Sebastian Dey and the criminal organization
with Toddi on bass and Thomas Klein on keys

"Penny novel"

"And the picture of a woman hangs on the wall,
right above the pinball machine
and she looks at me with big eyes,
as if she wanted to tell me
this won't end well with you.
Tomorrow the spook will be over.
I've already seen so many dream dancers
but you really take the cake..."

This is how the new program by Sebastian Dey and the criminal organization begins.
Their songs & stories tell, sometimes humorous, sometimes sad, the hard romantic love story of two Ruhrpott Selchen.
Nobody should think that these self-ironic songs have any autobiographical reference;)
This is not a story told in a nutshell. It is bursting with all kinds of embarrassments, obscure encounters, confusions and other lunacies and, after the first laugh or smile, we are amazed to realize that none of this is really foreign to us.

Many songs will sound familiar to the initiated, even if the new musical guise is sometimes surprising. So we hear the best Dey songs from the last 20 years, in an acoustic guise, accompanied by banjo, bass, piano, guitar and bass drum, and it really grooves!

You can expect a mixture of concert and theater, or concert with storyline...
Entertaining, very entertaining and always involving the audience.

Sebastian invites you into his head, but please take off your shoes!
