Hirsch Fisch
Karlskirche, 2020
Hirsch Fisch are the opening act of Popfest 2020 at Karlskirche Wien. The duo Norbert Trummer (vocals and ukulele) and Johnny Schwimmer (vocals, banjo and dobro) are joined by Walter Perlmurl Lameraner on saxophone and later on by the band Buntspecht for this special occasion. Some 20 years ago the Norbert Trummer and Johnny Schwimmer were already in a band together including pop, poetry and Styrian dialect: Scheffenbichler. Fortunately Hirsch Fisch still play some songs from their earlier Scheffenbichler days, for example the melancholic “Staub” (meaning “dust”). More upbeat are the following tracks feat. Buntspecht (who also performed at Popfest 2021) “Insekten” and “Zweite Kassa bitte” performed at the sanctuary of Karlskirche.
