The Best of the Old Shit and the New Shit

After more than 30 years the Fred Banana Combo is back in the original line-up!! 1978 they released their first record in Germany and England (No Destination Blues + Jerk Off All Night Long, Warm Records/London). It then continued with BMG/Ariola and with a Rockpalast concert and concerts in and out of Germany. Conny Plank came to discover the Fred Banana Combo, the "pope of good taste." The band will return to the stage in July and introduce their new album. Nicolle Mayer (vocals, drums), also a sought model, will arrive from New York City, Gottfried Tollmannn (vocals, Guitar) from Paris. The lineup will be completed with Bill Brown (vocals, bass), Dizzy Fischer (trombone), who worked with Tom Waits for years, and Charly T, who was musically connected to Marius Müller Westernhagen. The new album will come as a box set and contains 2 CDs and a DVD with the legendary Rockpalast performance from 1980 in Cologne. CD 1 "The Old Shit" contains the songs from 1977-1983 produced by Conny Plank. On the new album (CD 2 "The New Shit") Sarah Jay from "Massive Attack" sings on "Splinters" and Stefan Krachten plays the drums.
