Songs around the World!
Sunday, March 7th, 2010Putumayo is the ultimate way to get to know music form all over the world! And they are not only compiling great songs, they are also committed to distributing a part of the revenue in the communities where the music comes from.
We do have some of their albums – not as many as we would [...]
Jenny O. (so young)!
Thursday, December 17th, 2009Went to Regina Spektor yesterday – the supporting act was Jenny Owen Youngs, and she was great (Regina was also quite ok). Jenny did a lot of hopping (’cause someone in the audience asked her to), and she commended the Viennese audience for clapping about 15% more than usual at other European concerts where she [...]
“Traditionelles Neujahrsspringen!”
Tuesday, December 1st, 2009Yes, ski jumping is one of the few sport events where Austrian athletes serve a more than decorational purpose – they actually win sometimes! But the Traditionelles Neujahrsspringen (traditional new year’s ski jumping) of Christoph & Lollo at Kabarett Niedermair is a truly international event – songs about athletes from all over the world.
Christoph & Lollo recently [...]
Ain’t ever too far!
Saturday, November 28th, 2009Of course, it ain’t ever too far to see Regina Spektor live on stage – but I am quite happy that the stage is only a couple of minutes away from dergelbeSalon, actually. So if you have nothing better to do on December 16 – and chances are there is nothing better anyway…
To sum up [...]
Agaetis Byrjun – Happy Birthday!
Tuesday, June 30th, 2009Sigur Rós are celebrating their 10th anniversary of their breakthrough album “Agaetis Byrjun” – and for that reason, they made a live version available on their website, from the release in the Icelandic opera house in Reykjavík some time in 1999. 12 minutes of their great music in one track…

(1.Wiener) Indie Orchester & …
Thursday, June 4th, 2009If you don’t have anything useful to do tomorrow evening (Friday, June 5 2009), you might want to drop by at the Unplugged in Vienna at around 8 o’clock. I am not sure if going there is more useful than not doing anything at all, but it could be fun!
Lambchop @ WUK
Thursday, May 21st, 2009From Nashville, TN, to WUK in Vienna – Lambchop are in town again! (no, lambchop is not food – it’s music, and great one at that!) On July 1, 2009, Kurt Wagner and Co. will play at the WUK. I have seen them live at the WUK a couple of years ago. At one point [...]
Tüwi Festival 2009
Wednesday, May 20th, 2009Der gelbe Salon will be unavailable this afternoon, because we will climb the “Mountain of Bokutopia” to lie in the sun in front of Tüwi and listen to nice music (there might be some beer and “Pfirsichspritzer” for friends dropping by).
Later at night, there is a chance to hear Dunkelbunt live – but in the [...]
“Disko Partizani” in Vienna, June 11, 2009
Sunday, May 10th, 2009Shantel & Bucovina Club Orkestar, the “King Of Balkan Pop”, will play at the WUK in Vienna on June 11, 2009. Their next single, “Planet Paprika”, will be on tour over the next months, so be sure not to miss it.
By the way: if you combine peppers and Balkanika, what do you get? It’s red [...]
Support Thore
Sunday, May 10th, 2009I met Thore a couple of years ago on some European politics youth meeting in Brandbjerg, which is somewhere in Denmark. He is currently raising money for a studio recording of his music – let’s hope that he will find enough people, so that we can play it at der gelbe Salon soon! By the [...]
