With melt-in-your-mouth harmony singing and fast-paced word acrobatics, Mackefisch take aim at the emotional state of our society: funny and silly, imaginative and poetic, biting and merciless. Lucie Mackert and Peter Fischer make use of a wild mixture of instruments, from piano, banjo and guitar to electronic gameboy sounds and self-made upcycling drums from old suitcases.
Whether martial and driving or loosely swinging - the forward-pressing energy of this two-person orchestra is infectious. With Harmoniedergang, Mackefisch delivers the catchy soundtrack of our time.
Mackefisch have won numerous awards and prizes (Mindener Stichling 2022, St. Ingberter Pfanne 2022, Kleinkunstpreis Baden-Württemberg 2021 and others).
By the way: in order to be sustainable on tour, the two drag their 80 kg of luggage by hand through the train stations of this republic. All suitcases are treated appropriately.

"It's hard to say what fascinates the audience more: The couple's stunningly good humor or their multifaceted, sometimes wild music. Or the lyrics, which are biting, cheeky and then unexpectedly poetic."
