   About Strange Moon

"The trouble with writing about yourself is that you can't fool around. If you write about someone else, you can stretch the truth from here to Finland. If you write about yourself, the slightest deviation makes you realize instantly that there may be honor among thieves, but you are just a dirty liar."
Groucho Marx
STRANGE MOON is, I think, a very extraordinary Alternative Folk Band. A band of exquisite musicians who have discovered a new sound somewhere between acoustic and electric styles of the last decades. Nevertheless they have performed their own kind of songwriting and are playing with some lightning streaks of the Sixties.
Listen to the great voice of their singer and composer telling you stories of love and dispair, of hope and humour, and of their special view of life's strange ways. He has written melodies that have touched my heart as deep as few songs were able to. If you think that this must be a very sensitive and moving music, you are right, but remember, it's still only rock an' roll.
Sometimes things get worse before they get better. Living in a time were so many things seem to get worse - in our minds at least the music is always getting better - and more important for me with each performance. As I see it now, to a STRANGE MOON the spirits will fly...

Der Nikolaustag war super.
Ich habe mit dem weißbärtigen Mann richtig einen draufgemacht. Wir haben eine Nacht und einen halben Tag lang nur gesoffen und Blödsinn gemacht. Er war so begeistert von mir, dass er sich sogar meinen Namen eintätowieren ließ.
Als ich vorhin aufwachte, war ich mir nicht sicher, ob ich das alles nur geträumt habe. Doch dann fand ich dieses Foto auf dem Tisch:
