When Helge composed “Katzeklo“ (German for cat litter tray) in 1993, nobody would have thought that it would in future be possible to see each other on the phone. Utterly impossible! Now everyone has a mobile phone and even the smallest children can operate them like seasoned pros. The vacuum cleaner does its job without any cables and instructions, and the lawn mower also does what it is meant to without anyone behind it. You could just as well be treating boxes in the cellar with an antibacterial mould preparation.

A cat litter tray on wheels? Is the entertainer planning on visiting us on a tricycle or something like that? No. For the time being, Helge still needs four wheels to reach us with his panoply of musical instruments and other clutter. His band is entirely made up of living humans. There is no sign of so-called “artificial intelligence“. Indeed, one could be forgiven for thinking intelligence was not involved at all. This is a pure force of nature – undiluted sound. “Are the hearing aids switched on, ladies and gentlemen?” Then we’ll begin. Romantic songs alternate with utter nonsense. Side-splittingly funny!
