Der Spooky Men's Chorale ist ein großartiges, vielköpfiges singendes „Ungeheuer“, das mit mächtigen Klängen, exquisiter Zärtlichkeit und charmanter Dummheit neue Gebiete erschließt. Die in Australien und dem Vereinigten Königreich beliebten Musiker beschwören musikalische Welten herauf, die weit über das hinausgehen, was ihr bescheidenes Auftreten mit lässigem Hut und schwarzer Kleidung vermuten lässt. Sie sind einfach nur ein Haufen Kerle, aber wohin sie dich führen, wird dich umhauen.

The Spooky Men’s Chorale is a magnificent, many-headed beast which has single-handedly turned the world of men’s singing upside down. Bypassing well trodden avenues, they carve out new territories of mighty man sounds, exquisite tenderness, and charming stupidity to both celebrate masculinity and mock it.
Formed in New South Wales in 2001, the Spooks have become rock-solid festival and theatre favourites in Australia, UK and Europe, with seven albums and 900 gigs under their belts. No subject is too trivial or weighty for their attention, and such ability to find new musical rooms to explore contributes greatly to their astonishing fan loyalty.
The show evokes musical worlds far beyond that suggested by their unassuming, casually hatted, black-clad appearance. They are just a bunch of blokes, but where they take you will blow your mind.
