Hessentag: Selig - German rock in the VILCO Stadthalle Bad Vilbel - 2for1-tickets
When Selig released their debut single "Sie hat geschrien" in 1994, people were amazed. A mixture of grunge and rock, but with German lyrics - no one had ever done that before. The debut album brought the band their commercial breakthrough shortly afterwards, including constant rotation on music television, sold-out shows and an Echo. What followed was a classic rock'n'roll story: the band celebrated the new rock star life with their much more psychedelic second album "Hier", but then they were overwhelmed by their own success. Shortly after the release of their third album "Blender", which was produced in New York and was more pop-oriented, singer Jan Plewka left the band in a dispute. Selig announced their split in 1999.
Jan Plewka, guitarist Christian Neander, bassist Leo Schmidhals and drummer Stephan "Stoppel" Eggert spent nine years working on other projects before announcing their comeback in 2008. Since then, Selig have been doing better than ever: with "Und endlich unendlich" (2009), which reached gold status, "Von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit" (2010), "Magma" (2013) and "Kashmir Karma" (2017), they have released four albums and made it into the top 10 of the German charts three times. They took part in the Bundesvision Song Contest and recently asked musician friends such as Wolfgang Niedecken, Johannes Oerding and Olli Schulz to reinterpret their songs for the compilation "SELIG macht SELIG". Selig's eighth album was released in spring 2021. "The crazy thing is: we have a similar feeling today as we did at the beginning of our career," says Leo Schmidhals. "You're excited about the things you do. Today, of course, there are completely different topics that move us. But there's so much to do out there in society - you can't keep your mouth shut, you have to say something."
