Mackefisch - Complicity Circus

Mackefisch create something extraordinary. And not just because they play what feels like 20 instruments at the same time with four arms and legs - from self-made suitcase drums, a tap shoe stepping on rattles, cork plates and horns to banjo, guitar and a keyboard that combines accomplished piano playing with crazy synth sounds.
Nor because their two-part vocals switch confidently between ravishingly beautiful and breathtakingly fast-paced. Or because it conveys incomparably funny, poetic and merciless lyrics.
The truly unique thing about this award-winning mini-band is the feeling you leave with after the concert. And it's a damn good one: Mackefisch's KOMPLIZIRKUS doesn't just make you forget all your worries. Lucie Mackert and Peter Fischer also give space to serious topics, despite the good humor and sophisticated rhythms. No, not a room - a circus ring! And heavy thoughts are already bouncing through the hoops to rousing music, juggling with good ideas and letting themselves be stroked. And you realize: after an evening with Mackefisch, the weight of the world is simply much lighter.

"Mackefisch manage to convey even the big issues and problems of humanity with fun and positive energy, using powerful words and sounds."
