On the Dark Side of Bluegrass with The Dead Brothers
The Swiss funeral folk band unites various style in his music. There are blues, country, hillbilly, French chanson, Balkan melodies, gospel, gipsy music, jazz and more. They have written music for such theatre productions as Orpheus In The Underworld, Elektra and Tales from the Vienna Wood of Ödön von Horvath, and reproduced Kurt Weill ‘s arrangements of Brechts’operas. Beside these, they’ve a gothic-country version of Franz Schubert’s lied cycle, Winterreise.
The Dead Brothers have many forms:
a puppet dancing show,
a folk guitar symphony orchestra,
a primitive banjo and accordion duo,
a summer piano cabaret band with slide guitar and fiddle,
three old acoustic Armenians sitting on chairs,
and the only real heavy metal band, a mega combo with three tubas, 9 other horns.
The new album „Black Mouse” is a romantic record about the Spiritus Rector (directing spirit) of the world with oriental tunes and medieval rhythm.
