who the hell is louie austen?
...well he is around for quite some time, that you never ran into
him is just a matter of living in a parallel universe. since we
don`t know his exact date and place of birth we start with what he
does best: singing! his first stage-appearances in vienna during
the 60`s, singing small parts in musicals like "hello dolly",
defined his love for jazz, blues and the real big entrance for the
years to come.
after studying classical singing and the wonderful sound of "the
ratpack" (frank sinatra,dean martin,sammy davis jr., ...), he was
off to the states and saw a couple of their legendary shows in
frisco and vegas in the early 70`s. by then he had some cool
things going himself, like the collaboration with the "harlem
blues and jazz band" in n.y.c.,where he was living that days. they
mainly played amstrong tunes and some jazz and blues standards at
the "ginger bread club" on 64th street. it was a time of playing
with some great dudes and learning from them every night they
performed together. after several engagements in various resort
hotels and his own show called "jokers wild show" in pittsburgh /
pennsylvania he returned to vienna end of the 70`s.
back on hometurf he did what he did best, singing all the classic
jazz and blues. from 1980 to 1985 at the hilton hotel and from
1986 till today!!! at the mariott. he likes the atmosphere of a
hotelbar, the people, who come every weekend to hear him sing, or
the folkes that are just passing through. besides he did a record
in 1985 together with the legendary ginger davis, which became a
rare collectible since there where only 2000 copies pressed.
unfortunately there was never a recording of the occasional
livejams with great collegues who were in town like al green, art
farmer or even engelbert humperding!!!.
damned! but when he met the 26 year old mario neugebauer at a
recording session in a viennese studio and again two years later
at his local boxingclub, the time was right to join forces.
being a studioengineer for years and knowing how to twist those
knobs, mario neugebauer was an electronic music-junkie ever since.
after he rented a small room in the cheapstudiocomplex where he
spent several months of recording, programming and arranging, the
first songs where sending shivers up and down our spines. after
the first album patrick pulsinger joined them envisioning disco
for the new millenium.
for their various appearances louie and mario are sometimes
accompanied by august engkilde - bass and ken cesar - background
vocals.
