What does performed poetry sound like in musical form? The duo version of the art-pop band VIBERQUEEN, featuring vocalist, poet, and performer "Fräulein" Magdalena Hahnkamper with Aaron Maria Steiner on keys and live electronics, provides the answer.
If Nina Hagen, Hiatus Kaiyote, Laurie Anderson, and Fanta4 conceived a grandchild in the great cosmos, nurtured it with hefty portions of groovy spoken word, denglish night-bird humor, (live) electronic harmonies, and daring bass lines, fed it with the spoken word and rap of a stubborn alto, and then somehow managed to ground the artistic offspring, which had clearly fallen into the magic potion, with poppy, hip-hop beats, then!! That's VIBERQUEEN! With audience interaction, humor, and a proper performance, the program of the frontwoman's original compositions and lyrics sounds sweet, salty, velvety, shimmering, occasionally catchy, and occasionally sharp in public spaces. (New on board: art songs, aka Dialogue with the Inner Cow, and the future evergreen "17 Raging Nuns.") Come, step closer—let yourself be surprised!
