Bummelkasten

Their songs have a pull that is hard to resist. No wonder:

This pop-happy a capella beatbox sound - which comes across as wonderfully raw and entertaining with its detailed arrangements and its vocal and musical playfulness - is unrivalled, and not just in the children's sector.

With sophisticated lyrics and idiosyncratic humor, Bummelkasten goes way out of the box and breaks new artistic ground.

"Come, please!?" - the often used, politely embellished phrase of many parents - is presented so penetratingly in the song of the same name and is so often answered with an infantile "Yeeeeah" that it almost hurts. In "Wandern", a sinfully laid-back song about - well - hiking, the themes of nature and media consumption merge.

But it is above all Bummelkasten's strange characters that children get their money's worth with: Max, the toilet paper thief who rides the escalator. Susi, the toughest of all princesses, who likes to grill pony sausages and drive to the bakery in a monster truck. Shiny, the fairy of lights, who treats herself to a trip through the solar system but quickly gets fed up with every planet she visits. Bulli Battmann, a nasty schoolyard terror who cries into his pillow in the evenings, or caretaker Klaus, the smartest caretaker ever.

Since the first Lollapalooza Festival in Berlin, Bummelkasten has been the annual highlight of "Kidzapalooza", the parallel family offshoot, as a resident.

He performs stage appearances casually from his armchair. In addition to the funny songs, it is above all his loop station interludes that are great fun.

So take your sticky fingers off the sofa, take off your anti-slip socks and go pee again: Bummelkasten is in town!
