Max Eder from Bchold lives in Karlstadt and presents a live show on Friday with the Dietenhofen band “Gankino Circus”. The venue is the “Altes Kino” theater in Ebersberg to the east of Munich. Actually, the group would be giving a concert in Herzfeld between Paderborn and Dortmund at this time. But this is due to the corona.
If that’s too much geography for you, you can sit down on the screen in your own four walls on February 26th and watch the show by the “Gankino Circus” quartet. Even more: the audience can intervene in the action via chat. It will be an interactive online concert. “A friend channels the chats and makes a selection while we play,” says Johannes Sens, the drummer who is always hyperactive and sweaty on stage.
Multitasking for the musicians
So it could get stressful for the quartet at times. Sens: “Sure, that’s multitasking.” But that is what musicians would have to do in a normal concert. What all performing artists are sorely missing in the current Corona period: “You are not really rewarded with applause.” But at least interaction is possible. And the four musicians now want to do that more often “to develop this format”. Technically, the “Altes Kino” theater was upgraded for such interactive shows with funding for the digitization of culture.
Actually, after a long period of preparation, the new program “With the Finns” was ready for the stage in January. Max Eder had already been able to smuggle his passion for Finland into the band’s music several times. In “At the Finns” she breaks open ground. Almost two years ago the four musicians were in Finland for a month, played at the Kaustinen Festival, the largest and oldest folk festival in Northern Europe, lived in a mkki (a hut) and gathered impressions in the sauna and on the fishing boat. The conclusion of the four: “What the Francon is for Bavaria, the Finn is for Europe: an exotic from the north, taciturn, whimsical and yet somehow lovable.” Max Eder became a Finland fan during his drums studies, during which he was an Erasmus student in Helsinki for six months.

A month in the Finnish village
A few snippets of the Finnish program that have not yet been shown to the public can be seen in the online show. It mainly consists of parts of the previous programs. But: David Saam is there as a guest this time. He is a BR radio presenter, accordionist and singer of various formations, including “Kellerkommando”. In all of this, current events should also be included, as is the case with a live performance. The show will not be shown on Youtube afterwards. If you miss it, you have to wait for the next episode on April 9th.
Advance sales are on the website of the “Old cinemas” Ebersberg, and then on “The Gankino Circus Show” click. Admission 8:25 p.m., start 8:30 p.m.
Gankino Circus
The Franconian band “Gankino Circus” plays furious music with Franconian roots with saxophone, accordion, guitar and percussion, packed in a very bizarre way through the moderation and the happenings on the stage. It started 14 years ago at Stramu in Wrzburg. There she immediately became a finalist. In normal times she has around 100 gigs a year. Among other things, she was a guest at the “Kulturhppli” in Karlstadt. Among the prizes that the quartet won is the “Franconian Cabaret Prize” in Arnstein and he was the Ruth Festival Prize at the great Rudsolstadt Festival. So far four CDs and one LP have been released.
