so klingt's bei uns in uetze

Uetze ist ein Marktflecken östlich von Hannover und war im Jahr 1980 wie so manche andere niedersächsische Gemeinde Kunde bei Kerston Records. Das Dorf Uetze leistete sich sogar eine Doppel-LP, um die lokale Musikszene zwischen Spielmannszug und Sängerkreis zu dokumentieren, und interessanterweise haben es gleich 4 Rock- und Popbands geschafft, sich hier zu Gehör zu bringen - auf anderen Kerston Records-Gemeinde-Samplern hat man nur selten das Glück, überhaupt eine einzige solche Kapelle zu entdecken. 2 dieser Gruppen habe ich letztes Jahr in meiner Radiosendung "Brotbeutel" präsentiert - was heißt präsentiert, außer dem Bandnamen und den Titeln der Lieder weiß ich nichts von "The Flyride" und "Quo Vadis". Dann erreichte mich die E-Mail eines damaligen Beteiligten, der selbst nicht mehr im Besitz dieser Doppel-LP ist, weshalb ich hier nun alle 6 Rock- und Pop-Lieder dieser 4 Gruppen aus Uetze zu download präsentiere. Vorhang auf für "The Shadow Boys", The Flyride, Quo Vadis und The Foxies:


"The Shadow Boys": Take me home (Denver/Danoff/Nivert)/Lets twist again (Chobby Checker) / The Flyride: Don't love your star (Lutz Schwenke) / Rock is back (Jörg Schneider) / Quo Vadis: Q's Samba (Quo Vadis) / The Foxies: Blanket (L.Henley/J.Slade)

Translation: From 32 years ago here are 4 local bands from Uetze, a village east of Hannover, with probably their only studio recordings, published throught Kerston Records. Why do I listen to and post stuff like this? Probably some kind of boredom with the recent music mainstream and frustration that it is so hard to get kicks from music now. I've listened to a lot of music in my lifetime and it's getting harder to discover anything that's different and exciting too. So many young bands sound like something from 10/20/30/40/50 years ago. Also you can get some kind of respect from music bloggers if you discover and post obscure music that nobody else has heard of before. If it has any quality that will be a plus but is not necessary. Therefore I have to confess there were good reasons for not including "The Shadow Boys", The Foxies and "Rock is back" by The Flyride to my radioshow in October last year (listen to them at your own risc). But this is just my opinion and maybe somebody else will like these tracks. Well some american blogs get kicks out of posting Heino-records which I totally understand but musically Heino makes me want to throw up. Finally I get a kick out of collecting local records and I've collected just a view which I will never post here because these include a lot of classical music (I've haven't seen a blog yet which concentrates on classical music), marching bands and choirs. And if somebody again will complain this ain't an accurate translation of the German words abve, well I'm doing this for fun and not to please anybody. Slide down my back!
