MADSEN BANDGESCHICHTE
 |
Das erste Lied, welches die Madsenbrüder zusammen spielten, war "Vamos a la playa" - ein spanischer Dancehit
aus den 80er Jahren. Sie hauten dabei auf Kochtöpfe. Von da an war klar, dass sie Musik machen werden.
Alle 5 Bandmitglieder lernten zunächst an der Musikschule (Klavier, Gitarre, Bass, Schlagzeug, Trompete).
Nur mit Noten taten sich alle etwas schwer. Folli spielte mit 20 Jahren (Spätzünder) "Smoke on the water" auf der Gitarre, bei geöffnetem Fenster, so dass alle Nachbarn an seiner neuen Leidenschaft teilnahmen. Niko und die Madsenbrüder sind spätestens bei Nirvana durchgedreht und haben sich somit für die Rockmusik entschieden. |

Aufgeheizt durch die englische und deutsche Punkmusik gründeten Johannes (damals 13, Gitarre) und
Sebastian (damals 11, Schlagzeug) 1993 ihre erste 2Mannpunkband "Ganz Klar."
Mit Liedern wie "Asozial", "Merkel du Ferkel!" oder "Drecksau" begeisterten und schockierten sie in der
lokalen Musikszene. Ein paar Jahre später lernten Sascha und Sebastian, in der Musik AG ihrer Schule, Niko kennen und gründeten 1996 die Band "Alices Gun" (Rockmusik mit engl. Texten). Diese Band gibt es noch! Sebastian spielt dort Gitarre und singt, Elvis Gitarre, Niko Bass und Sascha Schlagzeug. Sie produzierten bisher 3 Alben in Eigenregie und gewannen 1997 den Local Heroes Wettbewerb. 1998 wurde die Band "Hoerstuatz" gegründet. Zunächst waren das nur Sebastian und Johannes, die einen deutschsprachigen Hip Hop Song bei einem Bandwettbewerb einreichten. Das Thema war "Gewalt an Schulen." Sie nannten sich Hoerstuatz, weil Sebastian zu der Zeit einen Hörsturz hatte. Das ganze wurde ernst, denn sie gewannen den Wettbewerb und damit einen Auftritt bei der Popkomm. Noch im selben Jahr unterschrieben sie einen Plattenvertrag bei der BMG. Nach einer kleinen Findungsphase sah die Besetzung so aus: Sebastian (Gesang), Elvis (Gitarre), Johannes (Plattengekratze), Sascha (Schlagzeug), Simon (Keyboard) und Niko (Bass). In dieser Besetzung veröffentlichten sie 2001 eine EP. Sie spielten jetzt deutschen Rap mit harten Gitarren und engagierten Texten und tourten zum ersten mal durch Deutschland. Nach der Tour wollte Simon lieber studieren und Folli trat an seine Stelle. Im selben Jahr gingen sie ins Studio und nahmen einen Longplayer auf, der bis heute nicht veröffentlicht wurde. Daraufhin trennte sich die Band von der Plattenfirma und Sebastian schrieb den Song "Vielleicht", der alles über die damalige Bandsituation sagt. Das Lied war auch der Anfang des neuen Bandsounds. Sebastian erkannte, dass er kein Rapper sondern Sänger ist und die Musik wurde melodischer, minimalistischer, organischer und vielseitiger. Sven Bünger (langjähriger Freund und Produzent der Band) stellte die neuen Demos bei Universalmusic vor und traf auf Begeisterung. Die Band war zunächst, aufgrund der bisherigen Majordealerfahrungen, etwas skeptisch. Nach einer Kennlernphase fühlten sie sich jedoch verstanden und gut aufgehoben. Elvis entschied sich für einen anderen Weg und verließ die Band, seitdem übernimmt Sebastian seinen Gitarrenpart. Bei „Alices Gun“ spielt Elvis weiter mit. Die Band benannte sich im Sommer 2004 in Madsen um, weil es sowieso immer hieß "das ist die Madsenbande" und außerdem wollten sie sich nicht mehr nach einer Krankheit benennen. |

Edition Madsen Band - Sebastian Madsen
Madsen.
So you valued readers, would like to save your relationship. You have lost yourselves in the confusions and turmoil of everyday life. Moreover, you know how to spell the word LOVE and think that this simply cannot be the end of the world.
Your problem: you have difficulties in finding the right words. Everything’s in your head, but you miss the capability to let those things that are locked up in your head melt on your tongue. Don’t worry, you are not the only one. Therefore, amongst other things, there is art.
Here’s my advice: let Madsen say it for you. Bring the CD with you when you go to your lover and put it on. Hold your partner’s hand, skip to "Immer mehr" (More and more), and for fuck’s sake hold your partner’s damn hand and try to put on a somewhat sensitive look.
"We loose ourselves more and more and more. (...). And I try to hold on to you, I’ll never let go of you again, cause that’s what we are used to." This song gives you the chance to understand everything within 3,16 minutes. Madsen stems from the Wenland district (Famous for the Castor transports of radioactive waste) in which people go to demonstrate.
An area in which playing music is not a hobby, but rather an escape. Maybe that’s the reason underlying the desperate hunger for life that is expressed by every line Sebastian Madsen sings. The adolescent anger of the young Lowtzow’s (Tocotronic) paired up with a great sense for harmonic vocals. Wonderful!
The best thing about Madsen’s lyrics is that Sebastian Madsen has succeeded in finding his own language. His lyrics are written in a rather Anglo-American way, meaning that he manages to express very precise concerns by employing rather unprecise lyrics. Those concerns he addresses are so big that there will most probably never exist adequate vocabulary for them. Me, you, we, the world, heaven, hell, life and everything else, back and forth in a single line.This is no small challenge!
You want to gratefully get down on your knees - finally you can listen to a band again that has been angry more than four times in their lives (and by angry I don’t mean receiving a C in a math test, because I reckon they would have been more than happy with a C)
And: May I curse? May I curse??? Let me curse just one time: Fuck*** hell, this music kicks arse!
God, this German-tongue-muzak at the moment is really dreadful and annoying. “Blablabla, I did not get laid this weekend...lalalala, and now: the slow part! Now, that was due!“
"This is straight to the point and really rocks!" if one likes to describe the music that penetrates you in the 37,40 minutes. Punk, Rock and Hamburg School, let’s just put it that way, those not being the worst genres of music in the world...
Madsen’s success is not by chance like so many bands hope for, but first and foresmost deserved and second their destiny.
I am thrilled by the best Debut-Record ever since I have started writing about music. I wish the band all the best for the near future. If I had to go on tour today, there would be no other band that I would prefer to take with me. There is already a rumour.
They are nice people and know how to drink - a good but dangerous combination.
It would be great!
