New Boo Hoo Music Video: Woody Allen Song

Amelie put together this wonderful Video! I hope you're as happy as I am that she did!

Concert Review + Video @ Womansdressingroom

Last friday night all of Frankfurt seemed to gather at "Atelier Frankfurt". Partly because of the re-opening of the strictly only friday open club "salon noir des artistes". But the most creative people in and around Frankfurt came to see an extraordinary exhibition open its doors. The Frankfurt Comic artist and dear friend of mine Piwi, who had drawn the covers for both of Boo Hoo's Albums and who is also a succesful and talented illustrator all around germany showed his works in Anja Conrad's Studio. The exhibition was entlitled "Kids/No Kids" .
Besides seeing the beautiful paintings there, the best thing for Boo Hoo was to perform on that special occasion in front of huge and dedicated crowd of a lot of friends and a lot of friendly strangers.
Amelie and I played a great acoustic set and even though the studio was packed ,the atmosphere could not have been more intimate. We are really proud of this show! Among the nice people attending the show were nice people like Susie Asado from Berlin, gifted comic artists, happy children and the guy who translated Steven King for the german market for almost 20 years.
There was also a fashion blogger from Frankfurt in the audience, My. She took some nice pictures and also took a video of Amelie and me playing a re-work of my song "Hypermarché", which she shares on her own blog. Here's a link to her review of the night, the show and below you find the video she took! I want more of these great nights!

Madonna's Greatest Hits/Juicy (Notorious BIG cover), 03/07/2010, Goodbye Blue Monday, New York

With a slightly melancholy feeling on my birthday, thousands of miles away from home I sang myself a birthday song in a Brooklyn backyard festival at Goodbye Blue Monday. I combined it with "Juicy" by Notorious BIG, probably my favourite song ever. After singing that one I didn't feel that melancholy anymore, because so many friends were around + I had to face the challenge of finding a BBQ for that steak I brought with me in mistaken hope of aBBQ that was not going to take place. I love New York!

Madonna's Greatest Hits, 09/07/2010, Pop In, Paris
Heavily excited about to perform at "Pop-In" in Paris France we found ourselves blessed with a crowded place and an audience, that was listening, laughing and giving as an amazingly lovely time. Our birthday song "Madonna's Greatest Hits" seemed to really make this birthday a very special one for the boy we sang it for. Friend Pollyanna and Oliver from our other Paris show at Oliver Peel session showed up, and we walked home in a warm french late summer rain.

All Summer Long (Phoebe Kreutz Cover), 09/10/2010, La Tournerie, Valence
Last night was Fun: Amelie and I played the Phoebe Kreutz Hit "All Summer Long" at "La Tournerie" in Valence. Before the show we had a white wine tasting, and after the show we got invited for Gin Tonics.
Tomorrow is gonna be Fun too: There couldn't be a better occasion to play a summer song than in the sunny south of France. After falling asleep at 3 in the morning, we had to get up at 5, because our lovely host was going to dj at a far away wedding...3 hours later, we went swimming in the Mediteranian Sea.

Afghan Hounds, 03/05/2010, Mr. Patrick's, New York

One of my dearest memories of 2010 sure was a show I played at Rick Patrick's house up in Harlem. Not only because the other performers of that night were just about the most talented and bright one's I have had the chance to see during my time in Brooklyn (Dan Costello & Rachel Devlin, Scott Loving, Debe Dalton). It also was because of the very unique magic that whole evening held. The freezing cold saturday in march was full of riding crowded subway trains all over Manhattan, lovely talks on sidewalks, donuts, 99 cent lattes, and definitely the most unique crowd I've ever played for. Mr. Patrick's mostly well situated neighbours were dedicated listeners, incredibly nice people and in some cases the typical New York excentric I've always imagined only to be TV fiction. After the show we rode the trains back to Brooklyn and had really greasy and very satisfying fried chicken in the middle of a magic winter night!

Last Boo Hoo show in 2010

This special edition is going to be available this sunday at the last Boo Hoo show of the year at "Arts Club Sinkkasten", at the No2 record store in Frankfurt or directly from me!

The snow is falling right now, so have a merry christmas time!

Happy Birthday, Woody Allen!

Dear Woody,

Since it's your 75th birthday today, I want wish you all the best for a lot more years of making hilarious movies. Happy Birthday Woody! We all know, you want to be immortal, not in art, but by not dying. But in case the that doesn't work out, I wrote you a song sometime ago, that will bring you a little closer to immortality, at least in the art of the tiny antifolk pop song. And in case not dying does work out, it'll still be a good song to listen to every once in a while to spice up eternity. It was recorded on your beloved hometown, Brooklyn, which I learned to love, while I was there earlier this year. The second voice on the song belongs to wonderful Andrew Hoepfner (You should check out his music too, if you find time!)
The Song is about you, me and Alvin Singer from Anni Hall having fun on an airplane, that is eventually the same machine that crashes somewhere in Mexico earlier in the song. It sounds scarier, than it actually is. Your glasses are part of the song too.
I really like them, even though I don't want to make the same mistake as a lot of people make nowadays by just wearing Woody Allen style Glasses, without having the face or the heart to wear them with dignity. That's why I don't wear Woody Allen Glasses, but write Woody Allen Songs!
Have a wonderful birthday, with a lot of days, birthdays, nights and leap years to follow today!

Sincerly, your fan
Boo Hoo
