The New Viennese Concert Schrammeln with Birgit Denk and Tini Kainrath

The Neue Wiener Concert Schrammeln play Schrammel music in its most original form, but in the guise of our time.

Countless old "Weana Tanz" and marches are an inspiration and source of strength for new things. Today the Neue Wiener Concert Schrammeln play old and many new compositions of their own and are constantly refining their sound. It is the sound of Vienna, created in Viennese wine taverns, appreciated by the most famous musicians, today performed in the concert halls of the world.

Their tours have taken the Neue Wiener Concert Schrammeln to around 25 countries - including 4 South American tours, North America, Russia, China, Japan, Europe - but always back to the Heurigen in Vienna. They have recorded 11 CDs

Birgit Denk is the queen of the great realm of Viennese dialect. However, anything imperial is completely alien to her. Her realm is the people, fates and stories of this morbid metropolis, which she and her band Denk have been singing about in wonderful songs for 17 years now.
Denk took over the torch of so-called Austropop at a time when it was only blinking wearily. It was around the turn of the millennium. The old heroes of Austropop, such as Ambros and Fendrich, were almost exclusively playing to old fans. Young listeners were turning to new shores, such as the rising electronic scene. Back then, Denk were the absolute exotics of the Viennese music scene.

Exotics with quality
A young, attractive singer - and what an incredibly good singer she is! - with a fantastic wit. The term probably no longer needs to be explained outside Austria. Every year the band played, and still plays, countless sold-out concerts, but the media didn't really want to take notice. Denk successfully recorded album after album (nine to date and one EP), the fan base grew steadily, but the radio stations said the band was too Viennese. For many of the Austrian artists celebrated today by the German feature pages, Denk was and is the fixed star that showed that you can be successful with quality and character, even outside the industry mold. And that even in small Austria. Denk is one of the best proofs of the theory that quality ultimately prevails. Birgit Denk has almost single-handedly carried the torch of Austropop into the new millennium and helped to ensure that it is currently burning brighter than ever before.

Second career
Parallel to her work as a singer with Denk, Birgit Denk has made a second career as Birgit Denk. She is the creator and host of the television program "DENK mit Kultur" (ORF III), a specifically Austrian interpretation of "Inas Nacht" with Ina Müller; is a welcome guest on various other Austrian television programs, whether singing or speaking; has her own radio show; is a wonderful, highly sought-after presenter for a wide range of events; writes columns; is often invited on stage and into the studio by colleagues across all genres (Christina Stürmer, Wolfgang Ambros, etc.); is committed to young, up-and-coming artists and is a passionate supporter of young, up-and-coming artists.and many more); is dedicated to supporting young up-and-coming artists.

...and fortunately is still not played on the "cheerfully popular" radio stations. Too much quality. Too much character. Long live the Queen.
(Hannes Höttl)
