When the feisty ones do what they love best, lots of new songs tumble out of their songwriting machine: one for the forced-ship, the involuntary concert guests who would actually rather be at soccer or a heavy metal gig. Another about the best-before date of all of us: "Mein Körper und ich" shows how you can laugh at your own decay. It's going to be funny. All the new stories in good company with the feisten hits.

The feisten are not only brilliant multi-instrumentalists and trenchant lyricists. They are also two decades-long friends who have been making music together for eons. This is the basis of a blind understanding with which they unerringly land their lyrics on the points in our lives that make the modern world so absurd.

Whether it's bachelor parties at over 50, eternal ass-kissers or the lost Wild West feeling of smoking: as long as the feists still have a pulse, they want our ear.

Rainer and C have been friends for over 30 years, make music together and share a great fondness for garlic. The two spent 25 years on the road with the trio Ganz Schön Feist, won various cabaret awards and were, as they say, well-known on radio and television.

Since 2013, the two musicians have been performing their two-man song comedy on stages across Germany and have once again won several cabaret awards. To top it all off, the feisten received what is probably the most important trophy in their genre for their work: the 2017 German Cabaret Award!

"For as much wordplay and entertainment value characterizes the performances of Matthias Zeh alias "C" and Rainer Schacht, the comedy-pop duo is also characterized by instrumental minimalism and a decidedly unagitated stage presentation. (...) And prove once again that with wit, charm and musicality, even an accentuated minimalism can become both a crowd-puller and a guarantee of entertainment." -Weser Courier
