About
Ten years of band history - and two albums: Jan Reichelt, Dennis Frank and Eike-Christian Heine take their time. Aloof metropolis, trends and hypes they puzzle out their songs in small rehearsal-rooms.
Braunschweig (Brunswick) is provincial backwater. That might explain Tchi's urge of getting out there from time to time. They found their second home at the Danube. Siluh-Records from Vienna, run by actor Robert Stadlober and Bernhard Kern, published "stehen stolpern" and has a great commitment to the band.
The album's recording and production is the outcome of collaboration and friendship with Tobias Siebert. Living and working in Berlin as an indie-producer (hund am strand, samba) and musician himself (delbo, klez.e) he transported the bands edgy sound to tape.
Bass, drums, guitar. That's it. And that's all it takes. The record sounds just like Tchi does: laid-back, sometimes monotonous, then claiming and arrogating. Rock and Punk. And thereby always present: Jan's voice and lyrics.
More than hundert concerts played Tchi are still far from being weary of those nights in clubs and those days on the intimate motorways. The coming gigs and tours are being booked for summer and autumn 2007.
The ardour to music that "stehen stolpern" so vividly reveals will continue to carry along their listeners. An outlook of the coming album that will be released in early 2008 is proofing that again.
