Berlin-based 17 Hippies weave a mixture of whirling, crashing,
diving and bobbing music from around the world. An ever-changing
line-up of between 15 and 30 instruments, they have been described
as "having used a warped blender to mix an accordion,
ukelele, banjo, saw, clarinet, violin, trumpet, trombone,
flute, a jew's harp, an Indian tanpura, an Irish bouzouki,
plus an assortment of other string and wind instruments, with
a Zydeco band, Luminescent Orchestrii, and a circus sideshow
from somewhere in Eastern Europe. In other words, their sound
is quite bizarre and absolutely fantastic!". |
