Bauchklang is back with two new albums
Austrian vocal acrobats Bauchklang (meaning "gut sound") have already received international
accolades for their unique genre-crossing sound, created without using any instruments other
than their voices.
Which makes Bauchklang the epitome of a live band, and an unforgettable experience for
audiences after they have overcome the initial surprise. The stunning mixture of Electro, Dub,
and Hip-Hop not only earned Bauchklang two "Amadeus Awards" (the alpine version of a
Grammy) at home, but travelled well abroad. With just their microphones to bring, they became
regulars at the most prestigious European music festivals, and now can boast with fan
communities in over 20 countries, including diverse places like Canada and India.
Four years after their last album release, the self-professed "vocal groove collective" now
emerges tightened to five members, audibly ripened, and with two new releases ready.
Which marks the launch of a new phase of Bauchklang going global, including a fresh web
platform, new collaborations with artists around the world, and an international film project.
What started in January 2008 with the first Indian live appearance of an Austrian band
completely unknown, and in a newly opened club in Mumbai, just a year later culminated in
three sold out nights at what had become India's premiere live-venue:
Bauchklang live at the Bluefrog club.
Bauchklang first live-album ever, "Live In Mumbai", features a selection of songs performed on
these six nights, including the new track "Signs" - a first taste of the like-titled upcoming studio
album - and guest appearances of gifted young Indian singer Shilpa Rao and prolific Indian
percussionist Vivek Rajgopalan.
Two four-city live tours are planned for July and September 2009 in collaboration with VH1 and
Carlsberg in India.
The album "Live In Mumbai" is released as a limited edition collectors item including a bonus
DVD with four live performances on video.
