Accoustic-country-folk-rock, zig-zagging between Bad Religion, Cypress Hill, Manowar and Elvis Presley:

Schmeisig combine the insanity of Cologne Carnival with the sound of Johnny Cash with the spirit of TRUE metal and the drinking habits of irish folk - mixed with some acoustic techno and hip-hop...

 Schmeisig from Cologne / Germany were founded during an annual camping-site binge next to the camp fire. So they just played the favorite songs of their teen-age – just without taking them too seriously any more. After all it was just for the sake of musical accompaniment whilst drinking and cheering.

Today, things haven't change a bit: Schmeisig plays some all-time-hits, that might have been punk-rock, hip-hop, irish folk or even heavy metal - now they all sound like Johnny Cash beeing joined by the Dubliners and Iron Maiden - unplugged.

 If you visit a Schmeisig-concert, you should be able to laugh about your own heroes, even if that's Manowar or Elvis Presley - 'cause this is music to have a drink on!

 Schmeisig are:
ULI - vocals, guitar, bouzouki, banjo
RAKI - bass, vocals
SEBASTIAN - vocals, guitar
OLLI - vocals, cajon, percussion
SEBI - guitar, vocals
