5/8erl in Ehr’n have become a rare species: a band that wasn’t assembled and produced to create quick, disposable musical fast food, but has been working for over 19 years with an open-ended, non-predetermined aesthetic. The fact that this band still exists is a rejection of ego-trips and a declaration of love for pluralism.
Max Gaier & Robert Slivovsky on lead vocals form a classic vocal duo, Hanibal Scheutz provides the foundation on bass, Miki Liebermann grooves passionately on guitar, and Clemens Wenger on the E-piano is responsible for the band’s warm sound.
Their current program 19 Jahre Wiener Soul is a best-of full of lightness, elegance, tenderness, and self-irony. Hits like Siasse Tschik, Vaporizer, Wunderschöner Mai, Jessica, Frühstück ans Bett, Alaba – How do you do?, or Badeschluss have made 5/8erl in Ehr’n known to an increasingly broad audience. And it might just happen that a regional radio station, a mainstream listener, a public swimming pool, and a jazz club all play the same song at the same time – each catching a glimpse of what it could mean.
Since 2006, the band has been touring regularly in Austria, southern Germany, and Switzerland. 5/8erl in Ehr’n have played nearly 1000 concerts (sic!), won six Austrian Amadeus Music Awards in the category Jazz/World/Blues, and released seven studio albums to date. Their style is often described as Wiener Soul.
