INFO:
More than second hand…
This is how David Bowie or the Beatles would sound like today: The “Ghost Town Trio” shows us how loony and stunning cover albums can be…
It’s almost like saying: take head dear listeners – these are elements of pop history – everything quite outmoded and some of it might even be tainted: but we want to figure out, what kind of wonderful mischief we can achieve with it. Yes, our “Ghost Town Trio”sets out to create coversongs. And how! These three musicians pounce upon these pophits to stear them to new realms. And yet Urs Vögeli (guitar), Lukas Mantel (drums), and Claude Meier (bass) do not employ a manner – they always achieve to renew their own style.
The yarn of the „Ghost Town Trio“ began at the beginning of 2009 with an engagement in an old whore house in Zurich’s red light district reconverted into a“techno bar”. After their distinctive debut album going by the name of “No Tits but Hits” and many gigs in venues and festivals around the country and abroad (Schaffhauser Jazzfestival 2012, BeJazz 2012) follows their second release “Don’t Make Your Mama Cry”. The trio does not only submit the songs of Blondie or Björk to brash transcriptions or perversions, no! To phrase it in a corny manner: it dances, fights, moans and groans, abandons and reconciles with them. This it does however without an obsessive exhibition or an emotionalized sensationalism but with a playfull airiness and authority – for the three musicians are in every respect masters in the breaking of styles. Pieces like “Go West” from the Village People can come along with great aplomb, with a sweeping melancholic guitar intro and warm crackling rhythm sections. This however doesn’t mean that they would not suddenly end up in a little techno-like pleasantry. Here, “Anton aus Tirol” transmutes to an awkward-pensive farmers boy, David Bowies “Space Oddity” is furnished with a barnstorming groove and Scorpions “Still Loving You” turns into a keyed up studio jam. Right here no body wants to conform to a pattern. “Second hand” is not the correct term for it. It’s third and fourth nature which is, being further processed here, manyfoldly turned and essentially worn out. But always perfect for a celebration in the basement party room of this pop century.
