Description
The 17 Hippies are one of the most innovative acts in the German music scene today. They were a favourite of the late DJ and music critic Charlie Gillett and their last two albums had both garnered critical acclaim and began to build a grassroots base in the UK (in addition to that worldwide). The term world music does not suffice to describe the way in which the band has taken its musical strengths to top form in recent years. On previous albums they have reinterpreted such tunes as The Shadows 'Apache' and here they rework Captain Beefheart's 'Gimme Dat Harp Boy' in their own inimitable style.
PHANTOM SONGS is the band's tenth album. They have toured across the globe performing in more than 20 countries so far. In March 2011, they will be the first German band ever to perform at the legendary WOMAD Festival in Australia and New Zealand.
PHANTOM SONGS focuses on songs and stories. It shows the impressive musical path that the 17 HIPPIES are following. Without losing sight of their origins, they are constantly on the move - open, changeable, and with breath-taking ease... right on the pulse of time.
