JOLLY & THE FLYTRAP

Description

JOLLY & THE FLYTRAP
GLOBAL POLKA ORCHESTRA / SOPHISTICATED ENTERTAINMENT SINCE 1986
40 YEARS MOKKA PRESENTS 40 YEARS OF JOLLYS: The cult band from Engelberg returns to the Mokka stage just in time for our 40th anniversary! This spring in Grünenwald, celebrating four decades of band history, Jolly and the Flytrap released a vinyl EP. Six songs are on this maxi-single, all brand new, nicely with 45 RPM, Face A, Face B. Get excited, get started, let it dance. Some call it a maxi-single, others an EP. The title: «Huitante-Six» like the founding year 86. The themes: shaving your beard in front of a mirror. Diving into the sea. Knowing each other from yesterday. Blue flowers and red ones. The man with the trombone in his hand. Sometimes shouting when you really mean it. And sometimes it's smart not to wait too long. Especially since Jollys' concerts have become rare. But when they do hit the stage, they don't hold back. Jolly & the Flytrap have been intoxicating music fans with wanderlust for 40 years. Because the Inner Swiss musicians beam their concert communities to the beach of Rimini, into the Spanish pampas, or onto the bubbling Balkan – finally to be experienced again on planet Mokka: Welcome Back Jollys! LINE-UP: EMILIO PARINI: TROMBONE & VOCALS | FABIAN «HEFE» CHRISTEN: MIXING CONSOLE | HANNES BLATTER: VOCALS, BASS | MÄRT INFANGER: ACCORDION & GRAPHICS | MARTIN RUTISHAUSER: TEXT & MERCH | RICHARD «ELRITSCHI» BLATTER: VOCALS & GUITAR | ROGER GREIPL: SAXOPHONE & VOCALS | ROMAN «MOTTE» BERGAMIN: TRUMPET | WERNER HÄCKI: DRUMS & PERCUSSION
