The anonymous Giddarischde - for the first time in the Industriehof
Even schoolchildren are now being taught the "Palzlied" in class, their ode to the "Lewwerworscht" has been played countless times on the radio (on Shrove Tuesday), whether at the Betzenberg, the Wurstmarkt or the most remote wine festival in the Palatinate - you can't escape them: a song by Anonyme Giddarischde is always being played somewhere.
Countless solo entertainers and cover bands copy this band, whose songs have long since become part of the cultural heritage of an entire region. But nobody comes close to the originals and if anyone had suspected when Anonyme Giddarischde were founded 20 years ago that they would one day be regarded as the high priests of the Palatinate language across the generations, they themselves would have been the least likely to believe it.
The three founding members, Edsel Merz, Roman Nagel and Michael Lange, met at a guitar seminar and quickly began to write their own songs as a "musical self-help group", as they still jokingly refer to themselves today.
Naturally in Palatine, the local language as it is "babbled" here, with topics that mainly concern the male population (which is obvious given the gender-specific line-up of the band). The result is precisely observed sketches of the little adventures of everyday life, which lead to seasoned men singing "Im Baumarkt, do wu Männer noch so rischtisch Männer sin" at the top of their lungs at Anonymous concerts with so much fervor that any master craftsman would collapse with joy.
Whether it's the evening feeding frenzy at the fridge ("Im Kielschrank laft moi liebschtes Programm") or the fight on the toilet at home with overly affectionate insects ("Die AB Mick"): it's the dedication to the Palatinate language, the precise powers of observation and the subtle exaggeration of certain everyday situations that always captivates the audience.The fact that they also achieve a high recognition value with the ladies is due to thoughtful and impressive love songs such as "Peterle's Wedding" (where "Medscher Fraue un aus Buwe Männer wär'n", who at some point stand in front of the altar), where you don't have to be embarrassed if you have to blink your eyes furtively.
All wrapped up in pleasing, never shallow melodies, arranged in a catchy and concise way. In addition, there is an unaffected joy of playing paired with witty announcements which has made the combo, now expanded to a quintet with Achim Kaul and Steppes Brot, one of the most sought-after live acts in the Palatinate. They are "cult", authentic, unadulterated and idiosyncratic - yet adored by their ever-growing number of followers. A mouth art band in the best sense of the word. Far removed from a musical self-help group.
