Yes, the Beccult in Pöcking can also do punk rock.

The fact that this type of music while sitting with a corona safety distance was still a real pleasure on Friday evening is due to the charisma and skills of the musicians from "Kuu!"

Pöcking

- First and foremost, the narrow, androgynous singer Jelena Kuljic, who is simply a blast - visually and acoustically, charming with an Eastern European accent, a volcano in a strict gray dress with a white collar.

Your colleagues Kalle Kalima and Frank Möbus on the guitar and the young, incredibly fast Christian Lillinger on the drums may have less eye-catching qualities, but they are really good at what they do.

The punk rock was just a little musical excursion before the break. “Kuu!” Play jazz, but with punk elements, loud and weird, with a Dada touch and, above all, with a lot of fun. The band starts the evening with “Jazz am See” in Beccult very easily, melody-rich and relaxed - until Frank Möbus’s guitar hits it, the beat changes and the happy, relaxed mood clearly slips into the aggressive. There is a lot of power in it, a lot of noise, apparently a mess, as it happens in a person in anger. Möbius, the jazz professor, knocks down his instrument, full of force and at the same time very concentrated. It is all the more remarkable that Kuljic finds exactly what she is doing and leads the tantrum to a happy ending. Big applause.

Kuljic's haunting voice gives the songs a special drama, whether it's hard spoken vocals or a tender song like “Talking to little birdies” from their first record. Drummer Lillinger enters this song so quietly that you think of the clatter of storks. Then there is the homage to Iceland. “Thank you Iceland” is melodious, jazzy and with wonderfully absurd lyrics. Or the number “Dada” with the simple line: “Before Dada was there, Dada was there” - on a dreamy, repetitive, accurately played sound carpet, it has an almost meditative effect.

The four of them can do it differently.

“We're still playing a punk rock song,” announced Jelena Kuljic with a charming smile.

"Why?

Because we can! ”That's true, absolutely.

Or as "Jazz am See" chairman Bernhard Sontheim said: "An incredibly great band."
