New York, NY (Top40 Charts) After having their dream of playing the first concerts in Switzerland in May this year come true, acoustic blues duo Runway 27, Left saw another wish became reality in early August: Austrian TV station Servus TV filmed two of their performances in Klagenfurt, Austria and Podersdorf, Austria.
Says Runway 27, Left's lead guitarist Erich 'White Feather' Brandl: "With the great experience of this year's performances in Switzerland and Germany under our belly, we're deeply honoured that Austrian TV station Servus TV filmed a 40-minute concert in Klagenfurt, Austria, near Lake Woerth, and another 20-minute concert in Podersdorf at Lake Neusiedl. Naturally, we're highly motivated in the run-up to the autumn season that will see further performances in Austria and in the south and west of Germany. Moreover, in mid-August we got word of being among the winners in a video competition organised by a chocolate manufacturer."
On their current album 'Friends And Catfish',
Lukas Weber of Planet.tt Magazine from Vienna, Austria, says that "Half of the album was recorded at historic Sun Studio in Tennessee, the other half in Berlin; the result is something to be proud of (to listen to). Editor's picks: 'Blue Sunday' & 'Talking To Myself'."
Radio personality Josep Palmada of the Red Hot Blues
Radio Show on
Radio Vilafant from Spain thinks that 'Runway 27 Left from Vienna (Austria) show a very personal approach to the blues. It's a duo consisting of Anthony 'Tone' Kammerhofer and Erich 'Weissfeder' Brandl, mainly influenced by blues, country, Rock'n Roll, Zydeco and Bluegrass. Their second album 'Friends And Catfish' was recorded in the USA and Europe, and all songs on the album are original songs. It's great work.'
With more than 80 performances from 2011 to 2015 in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, acoustic duo Runway 27, Left's first album 'Weekend Warriors' was released on their label 'Weissfeder Records' in March 2012. The harbinger of their first album, radio-only release 'Flawed & Flattened', had already gathered radio airplay in the UK, the USA, Spain, The Netherlands, Australia, Germany, Austria and Macedonia.
Eventually, April and May 2012 saw their first, brief guest appearances upon invitation by local artists in Memphis, TN, and New Orleans, LA. February 2013 saw them back in Memphis, TN, for recording their first few songs for their upcoming second album at historic Sun Records Studio, further enhancing their strong bond with St. Blues Guitar Workshop, too. The second part of their second album was recorded in
September 2013 at Tonbrauerei Studios in Berlin, Germany. Both albums, 'Weekend Warriors' and 'Friends And Catfish' are available on all respective download platforms worldwide.
Runway 27, Left is a blues project having former Trans Am/Sun Luca/Run Riot bass player Erich 'White Feather' Brandl and My Other
Brother lead vocalist Anthony 'Tone' Kammerhofer team up.
The musicians (Erich Brandl - guitars, bass, backing vocals and Anthony Kammerhofer - lead vocals, rhythm guitars) try to reconnect with the roots of pop and rock music, calling their style 'In-Blues Entertainment'.
