Flash! Trip! Kick! Getting a blast of Botticelli Baby live means sweaty hair, sore muscles the next day and a permanent grin in your face! How do you prepare for it? Not at all! You come as you are and go wild!
In order to give the wild sound what you have to describe as a mixture of jazz, punk, blues, folk, funk, Balkan and pop, you need exactly seven different ingredients. In the form of musicians and in the form of their instruments! It’s a rush, a celebration when the band performs.
The seven types seem like solidly assembled material, indestructible and yet extremely chaotic. Each instrument brings its individual strength and pushes the entire cart with it on mission ecstasy on some alien planet!
You don’t know where exactly it is after the concert.
It’s these brilliantly forward-moving rhythms and energies that morph into a colorful medley. The sound of the voice and the radiance of Bösherz are just as rousing as sexy – Arnim Teutoburg-Weiß (Beatsteaks) and Björn Dixgård (Mando Diao) have made a baby, etc…
And then it suddenly goes bang! – and a fruity sound chaos begins, which then suddenly joins together to form an alliance and, bursting with power, is thrown into the jaws of the audience, who are also already soaked in sweat. Precise, like a well-aimed golf swing into the hole.
Sounds exaggerated? It may be, but anyone who has been through it knows what we’re talking about here! The band manages to bring a kind of healthy and long-missed dirt back into jazz music. And audiences love rubbing themselves in – from the Czech Republic to Germany to Spain! Incidentally, the seven call their sound “junk” within the band and after the name of the second album. And whether you rub it on yourself, devour it whole or throw yourself into it is up to you – it’s definitely a booster for the dancing leg that has fallen asleep!
