On Sept 18 2009 we played on Yıldırım Fakılar‘s 1st International Jimi Hendrix Festival Vienna. This is an ambitioned small no-budget festival to celebrate Jimi Hendrix’ music and spirit on his day of death. Because we really like that (the party & the music, not the day of death) and Yıldırım seemed a nice guy, we agreed over a small compensation of a handful of €uros for the whole band.

After the gig though, Yıldırım came over and told us, that he had no more money left, because he had to spend it all for the foreign bands’ hotels and flights. But he promised to pay it as soon as possible.

We are still waiting for that.

In fact we were. Because we hereby abate Yıldırım all depts and forgive him not paying us as agreed upon. No problem bro! :-P The only thing you’ll have to face from now on, is this picture:

Our beloved friend, brother-in-law, Adele’s husband, father of Adele’s two daughters, trumpet player and last but not least great painter Eduardo Roca overdrew us. And rightly so!

That bad ass drew that nature-study completely from memory.

Nudge Edi's face to see the cartoon

We overhauled the homepage a bit. Now there’s a big fat Fenzl logo on the frontpage, which is what we like most. Then we pimped the picture gallery, made a more idiot-proof navigation -  in our own interest – and dumped old crap, because it stank. Enjoy!

UPDATE: Fenzl Frequenzl 33 canceled! Special Guest at the Fenzl Frequenzl 33: Michaela Fischer, an old friend of us, who outed herself as a killer singer over night and proceeded to give her debut at Die Große Chance in Austrian TV. Fortunately she didn’t stand a chance there, because the musicians just get milked there anyway.

ALERT: The concert will take place only, if the garden at the Blue Tomato isn’t open yet, which is usually rather improbable end of April. We will announce that shortly before. If not, then see you there in fall. UPDATE: Fenzl Frequenzl 33 canceled!

But what’s for sure is the next gig: the yearly opening of the Schanigarten at the Bierwaage, where it’s traditionally to cold to sit outdoors.

We’ve not decided yet  if we’re going to play at the great concert hall of the Bierwaage or in Pezl’s living room at No. 35.

But you’ll check that.

Liebe Leute,

diesen Freitag – 24.02.2012,

Fenzl Experience live:

FENZL FREQUENZL Nr. 31- feat. AMINATA SEYDI (voc.) wie immer im bezaubernden Blue Tomato Wurmsergasse 21, 1150 Wien

Wir haben jetzt auch eine Google+ Seite … deren Sinn sich vielleicht noch offenbart.

but that’s enough info for now.

Fenzl Experience now plays and endorses Zagler Custom Guitars! This name stands for guitars and basses of highest quality, made with an amazing know-how and a real love for good sound.

At our Happy Birthday Jimi party, Paul Zagler – a great blues guitarist and singer, an even greater guitar maker, head of Zagler Custom Guitars and a good friend of ours – came backstage and offered us to play a few of his wonderful instruments. He’s currently working on a bunch of Strats and so Edi now has the difficult job to choose one of them. More details on that in a few weeks or so.

In the meantime, Jan is playing on a 5-string ash bass in cool Stevie Ray Vaughan-like sunburst finish:

On Friday the 28th we are going to play at Susi Plahl’s huge project Blues Jam featuring Local Vocals. This time Edi and Jan will play an even bigger role than last time. But see for yourself:

Vocals: Susi Plahl, Lili Kern, Sybille Kefer, Peter Dürr, Reverend Frank TT

1. Band: Hermann Posch g, Edi Fenzl g, Tom Müller ts, Silvio Berger d, Jan Fenzl b

2. Band: Fenzl Experience (ya know)

Yeah, that’s 2 badass killer bands for us! Yesterday we drank Schnaps and Beer rehearsed on Hermann Posch’s Farm and it was way to good for a practice. So tighten up your toupees, there’ll be quite a party going on on Friday at the Davis.
