30 Jahre Ulrich Tukur & Die Rhythmus Boys

Theater Akzent, Wien

What chaos, what a fantastic mess it was when the Rhythm Boys took to the concert stage for the first time thirty years ago and unleashed a hurricane of enthusiasm and total confusion! None of the four knew their instruments, but wit, cultivated indiscipline and excellent looks compensated for any musical deficits. That has changed over the years. The gentlemen now sing and play far better than they look; indiscipline has turned into madness and cheerful disorder, and so an evening with the Rhythm Boys is like the last, tumultuous concert in a dilapidated variety theater that has been cleared for demolition.

"Tohuwabohu!" is emblematic of the long, successful road that Ulrich Tukur and the Rhythmus Boys have traveled and which makes them unique in the history of popular music. What would life be without the weightless music of this quartet, which for almost an age has known how to turn darkness into light, hardship into confidence and sadness into high spirits? Come with us on a walk in the dance step of cheerful rhythms, experience a firework display of enchanting melodies that dissolve the paralyzing contradictions of our lives into grace and melodiousness in colourful explosions. Don't miss out on something that could change your life forever: distinguished dance music, refined chorus singing, first-class instruments, elegant clothing and good manners. German and international repertoire. In addition to world-class Italian and French hits, spectacular new arrangements will take your breath away, and you will say to yourself: until now I have only existed, but now I am alive! If you want to escape from the chaos of the world, join the fantastic hullabaloo that Europe's most beautiful dance band has created especially for you. And, there is news: After a change on the guitar, the newly formed band is preparing for the new program "Tohuwabohu!". Ulrich Mayer is retiring after 30 years together, Hardy Kayser will be his worthy successor - let's move on to new deeds!
Ulrich Tukur (vocals, piano, accordion), Hardy Kayser (guitar, mandolin, vocals), Günter Märtens (double bass, vocals, dance), and Kalle Mews (drums, vocals, noises) await their audience, always well coiffed and elegantly dressed. Their promise goes far beyond the graceful stringing together of melodious notes.
