21:00 Special Reserve feat. the Stefan Öllerer Quartet


Young and foolish: a lovely standard with a title that doesn't always fit. And that's a shame since a happy marriage of these two qualities could serve to loosen the music world from its rusted hinges, to bring tempo into the pedestrian fare and spark the thinking of music's venerable but over-saturated old guard. Let's hope Stefan Ö, the Young Man with the Horn, and his musical counterparts will shake the boards of the former Fledermausbar. Better Young and Foolish than Fine and Dandy -- or Getting Old with a Handy! RD

Admission: ATS 120.-


24:00 Heli Deinboek Meier Tour 96: Advance Première


Finally, Meier! At the beginning of this new year, one scandal-buffetted instrumentalist can finally be reinstated. And it's official ... the Viennese musician Heli Deinboek may now take his rhythm 'n blues scores into the concert halls of Meier-dom with the full blessings of his satisfied publisher.
Armed with Viennese variations on texts by the American pop satirist Randy Newman, Deinboek will make his apologies live before his audience, personally underscoring the words on his Fender Stratocaster. Furthermore, within the framework of his exhaustive two-hour show, he will also have the opportunity to voice his gratitude for the support which has helped his current album to shed its former taint and receive genuine acclaim.
In the merchandizing sphere, Meiers, Mayers, Meyers etc., plus marginal derivations such as Mayerhofer or Mayreder, are being awarded (free-of-charge) their literary consolation prize -- composed and signed by Meier-hunter Heli Deinboek, personally.

Admission: ATS 180.-
