Dieselpunks

Dieselpunk + Steampunk Culture

here are three nowadays musicians from my country, germany, which both suit very well in terms of Dieselpunk:

Max Raabe:


He and his 12 piece "Palastorchester" are around since 1988 and fill halls in germany and also in NY, Tokyo etc...

some of you may know some of his covered songs from the famous "Comedian Harmonists" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comedian_Harmonists )

"Not much needs to be said about the music Max Raabe sings; the songs speak for themselves. For the most part they were written towards the end of the Weimar Republic."

He recently released his first "real" self written solo-album with snippets found here:

and the next one is:
Götz Alsmann

http://www.myspace.com/goetzalsmann

while Raabe is stuck in the 20s and 30s mainly, Götz is more into the 40s and 50s.
He is a german entertainer, jazz-pianist and a very talented musician - just givve him an instrument and he knows how to play it ;)

and the last one:
Annett Louisan


http://www.myspace.com/annettlouisan
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annett_Louisan
She also "reaches" the borders of pop music but also plays a wide variety of music with blues, soul, jazz and swing. The lyrics of her songs are mostly about love, failure and disappointment. Annett Louisan is one of the few German artists who has obtained a high profile with chanson-style songs.
