Anyone who enters the rehearsal room of the Zurndorf band Fahnerman Jansen immediately knows what is being played here. The thick cigarette smoke, the instruments, all older than you, and Jimi Hendrix, his guitar choking out of the record player's speakers in the background - it all screams rock 'n' roll.
In fact, you could think you were back in another era. One in which electronic music from smartphone speakers was considered unthinkable and being a DJ was not yet a common hobby for young people interested in music. It's different today. It's the same for Fahnerman Jansen's men, all three employees at the Kittsee Hospital. Rock 'n' roll is experiencing a revival here.
“The honest art of the instrument is the top priority,” says singer and guitarist Andreas Fleck right at the beginning of our conversation. He elaborates: “Improvisation is also a central point of our music. Nowadays everything is so structured, in the past you just let it happen.” True words for everyone who has ever attended a performance by the band. “For us there is a beginning and an end, the rest comes by itself. There is also no fixed set list. Often a concert is over and we realize that we haven’t played half of the songs.”
They received additional help in the mix from Nickelsdorf sound technician and Radio Grenzwelle operator Thomas Vsudibyl and from Mario Schmid in mastering. The album will therefore be released on vinyl, because the band members themselves prefer to enjoy music served on the turntable. Rock on!
