Fuzzman & The Singin' Rebels

In the organizer's words:

"Welcome to the void". The title of the current record could make you think that Fuzzman has become a nihilist, but that would be reading too much into it.

Fuzzman concerts may have taken on cathartic traits in the meantime, but the mischief is still deep in the neck of the Fuzze. A rollercoaster of emotions; and what more could you want in times of sterile, soulless, one-size-fits-all music? Add to this his band, the Singin' Rebels, who have long been considered one of the best live bands in the country, and a songbook that has quietly developed over the years into one of the most versatile, surprisingly twisting and ultimately most convincing in Austrian pop.

No wonder. Herwig "Fuzzman" Zamernik's wide-ranging activities with his own label, the "Fuzzstock" festival in Carinthia and not least as a successful and award-winning film composer have placed him at the artistic heart of an extremely fertile nucleus of contemporary Austrian pop culture in recent years. Visitors to his studio in Vienna's seventh district - the Fuzzroom - regularly experience a factory feeling like in the days of the Velvet Underground. This creative center is not only a recording room for many local acts such as Voodoo Jürgens, Pauls Jets, Euro Teuro, Lydia Haider, Kreiml & Samurai, Ansa Sauermann and not least for his own musical work. It is also an important social meeting place where a successful young musician and actor like Oskar Haag can meet top-class stars from the local film scene.

The Fuzze simply loves to bring people together. This is particularly noticeable at his concerts with their rituals, which a fan base that has grown steadily over the years is always happy to get involved in with solemn seriousness. But a smile remains on the lips after a Fuzzman concert. In the end, everyone has succumbed to the entertainer's charm and wit.
