LAH

No lifeform ist perfect
cause life's about changing
and kyu means the one
that is trying to learn
so step in and explore
be the x in the x-ter
let the deamons be dancers
relax

as the rules are shifting
we feed our monsters
so that at last when the rules
get broken once more
their force shall be with us
be their softspoken keeper
let the monsters be dancers
relax

Coco y Raya - Mala Suerte

Mala Suerte means Bad Luck and that ist what Coco y Raya sing about in their first release for many years. Not only can you get the Single on bandcamp as stream and download (no registration necessary), you can also watch the music video to the song on the xterkyu youtube channel. Now this is what you call a comeback.

+++++ february 2025 +++++

While we are waiting for the internet to become this wonderful place of respect and understanding, where brilliant ideas are exchanged for improving life on a shared planet, we can at least try to populate the brighter corners of it. And that's just what we are doing here.

For the past year the main focus of the LAH endeavors has been strongly shifting back to music again. Various musical vehicles are getting ready. For those who now shout FINALLY! we have something for you on bandcamp.
There we are starting to re-release some of the LAH back catalog to shorten the wait for the exciting upcoming new releases and live acts. First release will be the classic Halbe Welt from 1993, others will follow regularly. If you want to get notified with every release, use the Follow on Bandcamp button on top.

And if you want to get wind of live gigs as well, you can sign up for the email newsletter on top of the page here. Much better than getting pestered on instagram with weekly videos where you see us hopping around in the studio, say we.

Another chance to see the Lonesome Andi Haller film ZERO CRASH. Specially when you live in the Waldviertel. The Galerie Blaugelbezwettl has picked it for one of their special film screenings.

Strange as it may be, the topic of Do we really need alien help if we want to get out of the mess we build ourselves with the current money system? doesn't get old. So come and get your brain tickled and wildly entertained at the same time

Tetralogie

The beamen ensemble festival continues in April with a four-part show called TETRALOGIE. Unpretensiously surreal. Effordlessly sharp.

Going into raptures. Everybody hears something else. A director (Lonesome Andi Haller) has not the slightest clue. Ties are not what they used to be. And there's no progress without sex. Poetic = true, not pretty. Who's blaming whom, isn't it great? Your face is so sweet. And Iain is dead. Becoming and passing away, that's just how it is.

Again, in german. If all that doesn't sound like a straight story to you, you're right. But don't be afraid. It's even better than that.

beamen.ensemble präsentiert TETRALOGIE - 07. +08. +28. +29.04 2024 - 19:30 - TheaterArche, Wien

+++++ march-april 2024 +++++

So here we go. After an era of private shows for selected guests only, the beamen ensemble finally goes public. It's illustrious members have played the treadmills of high culture as well as the european counter culture underground. Members of the collective come from theater, film and music. The youngest is nine the oldest over sixty. This time you can see a show by ensemble founder Michaela Hurdes-Galli, nix/GELD. Scroll down to June 2010 and you'll see where it comes from. It's a remake. Lonesome Andi Haller playing twelve year old boy Timmi.
In german. Only one show - good gracious! Get your tickets soon. Quirky, funny, it's all about money.

30x Klangspuren Still

The renowned contemporary music festival Klangspuren Schwaz is celebrating it´s 30th anniversary this year, and so contributing composers were asked to record a short video snippet of some sound on their mobile phone.

Lonesome Andi Haller had the pleasure to compose the harvest into a jubilee video. You can watch this banger on the opening day of the festival together with illustrious guests and as a plus you also get to listen to some intriguing brand new music. Or you stay for the whole festival, who knows?

That's where you can get into the flow.

As the elite is mumbling, gasping and hollering EUROCRISIS!!! all over the place it's time for us to ask our financial experts here at xterkyu for some insights into that damn complicated mess. Here's what they say:

We are witnessing no less than the breakdown of an intrinsically unstable and unsustainable monetary system. All the actions taken so far are not addressing the core problems. Seems like there was something to be learned from the vulture funds' ways to make profits from distressed debt. We recommend their Loan to own strategy to distressed states who have to deal with distressed banks in the current sovereign debt crisis.

How? Stop the halfwitted repair attemts, let the market do it's thing and very soon most private financial institutions will be in desperate need of help. Now, instead of just bailing them out we should LOAN TO OWN them. More money to rescue banks? Yeah, but put them under control of the only true sovereign in a democracy - the public. That accomplished all over the Eurozone we can go ahead and make shiny bald heads: a generous multilateral 100% haircut clearing all debt held by the then public banks. Hey, it's quite virtual anyway, all this money isn't it? - What would we win? Prosperity? Democracy? Stability? Who knows. What would we loose? A lot of doubtful numbers in computers

Thank's guys, we say. Fascinating. Keep up the good work!

BASIC GERMAN - UFOlogists will love that: Finally someone tells the truth about the famous "Battle of L.A." Aliens it was, hell, yeah.

As part of a new festival about Bertold Brecht, Lonesome Andi Haller hits the stage with this one-man musical about Brecht in his Californian exile. So where do the UFOs come in then? Come and see. See and believe. Learn all about it. Hollywood in the 40s, Aliens, Special Agents and catchy songs in basic german and solid english guaranteed.

Andi Haller aus Barcelona, der mit einer Ukulele und ein paar technischen Gerätschaften als Lonesome Andi Haller Band auftritt, hat die „Hollywood-Elegien“ zu einem Ein-Mann-Musical verarbeitet. In dem tauchen nicht nur die von Brecht beschriebenen Engel, sondern auch der CIA-Agent auf, der den verdächtigen Immigranten abhört, und ein paar Außerirdische, die Brecht klonen und so die Welt retten wollen. Ein schön schräger Spaß. - Augsburger Allgemeine AZ

Before LAH and his lot are off again to shoot another flick under the catalonian sun, here are a few dates for a hearty farewell:

The Diva of the Banana movie - De Lady in de Tutti frutti Hat - Brasilian Singer Carmen Miranda was the highest paid women in the USA in the WW2 years, time of good neighbour policy with Latin America and tropicalismo musicals. See Irene Coticchio in this take of the theatre group TOXIC DREAMS on the magic of Busby Berkley and the eagerness to entertain.

If the only thing that comes to your mind about a zither is "The Third Man" you should check out this man: Christof Dienz knows how to treat this alpine table instrument to make it sound like a flock of amphetamine abusing electric mountain geese built by Tinguely. Celebrating the release of his CD is amongst other illustrous guests Lonesome A.H. on his razor sharp wahfuzz bass guitar, who also contributed a track to the remix half of the double album ("Dienz Zithered" Geco/Hoanzl).

Vienna!! Austria!!! the unstoppable creativity output of the entity wearing the LAHB tag is pouring down on you like a derwish dancing giant chocolate cake in the golden autumn sun.

Not only will the most recent TV soundtrack work, artist portrait HEINZ CIBULKA, be beamed into all your culturally interested households soon (ORF2 - 07.12.- 23:15), but you can also catch us live on stage, singing sitcom songs in family harmony.

Ride the emotional peaks and vallies of a modern dictator's family life in DIE MILOSEVICS - a sitcom put onto theater stage by restless long time collaborators: the glorious TOXIC DREAMS around YOSI WANUNU.

For those of you anxious to sing along, come and sing! Be shure to hit the right notes though, Mrs Milosevic's chainsaw handling tends to be somewhat unpredictible...
