Herrn Stumpfes Zieh & Zupf Kapelle

It could have gone on forever: seeing the Stumpfes perform live on stage with Bemberle and Linsengericht, with their humor, skill, and countless instruments, would have been a treat for their numerous fans. But: “Oi mal isch rom,” say the Stumpfes, and they embark on a farewell tour. So much for the sad news. The good news is that it can still go on forever. At least on CD. And to all the previous CDs of unscrupulous house music by “Herr Stumpfes Zieh & Zupf Kapelle” and all their own and borrowed songs, a new one is being added. And Selle, Manne, Flex, and Benny have once again given their all, if not their last, to sweeten their farewell with their new songs. “Egalwosnogoht” – which roughly translates as “It doesn't matter where the journey takes us” – is the title of the final work, which mainly features their own songs. And it does so in the way that has become a guarantee of success for the Stumpfes: with humor, distinctive musicality, and a keen sense of the absurdities of everyday life. Pain of parting? Not on the CD – even if a slightly wistful “Ade, 's war schee” (Goodbye, it was nice) can be heard and the title song “Ganz egal wo's nogoht” (No matter where it goes) musically reflects on the new phase of life. With these new and once again ruthlessly catchy songs and their razor-sharp lyrics, combined with the treasure trove of songs from the past 32 years, fans can rest assured that the Stumpfes' hits will continue to be part of the mix – no matter where the journey takes them.
