GERMAN SONGS ARE EVIL SONGS

Aranea Peel (of GRAUSAME TÖCHTER fame) sings classical German Chansons, backed by the TingelTangelPhilharmonie, led by Hans-Jürgen Osmers.

Brecht, Weill, Eisler, Hollaender, Feuchtwanger, Benn, Dostal, Dessau and a few others are some of the best-known suppliers of music and lyrics from troubled times. Edgy, pungent, provocative, intelligent, shameless. German and evil. Can these cultural assets be shipped off to a museum? Or does everything have to be reinterpreted all over again?

Neither, in fact! The electro punk icon Aranea Peel from scandalous band “Grausame Töchter” lives out these songs on the stage, performing them hedonistically while also demonstrating their timelessness. It’s astonishingly evocative of Brechts epic theatre. Ecstatic concerts in Berlin’s underbelly – like in the KitKat club - prove her unbreaking passion for and devotion to these German songs. Aranea shows an authenticity that defies all conventions - it’s art for art’s sake! Aranea Peel is a being that seems to have sprung from the depths of expressionism.

Time and time again, the press has referred to her as a blend of people like Anita Berber, Nina Hagen, Wedekind’s Lulu or even Mephisto.

Now, Aranea’s Chanson interpretations have finally released on an album consisting of 15 tracks. She is joined by the opulent “TingelTangelPhilharmonie” led by Hans-Jürgen Osmers, who also wrote the excellent arrangements.
