Concert: Engerling

Back in January 1975, five young men took to the stage of a pub in Mahlow near Berlin. "Engerling" is their name, said the pub owner and added: "....na, but they won't get far with that name...." He was around 50; I wonder if he lived to be 100? Engerling is 51 and fortunately still not a cockchafer, because as we all know, they don't live very long!

For 51 years, the East German band has persistently honed its own style with intelligent lyrics on the border between German rock and blues and has thus created a loyal, but not at all "ostalgic" audience. "Rock'n'Blues" with history and a view to the future.
