Squeeze & Queen? - Germany, UKby Holda Paoletti-Kampl |
If you think, you have seen and heard almost everything – well – then you might have thought like myself! Walking up and down at this year’s Frankfurt Musikmesse, I had the pleasure of seeing wonderful new instruments and MIDI equipment, great artists at all accordion stands of the exhibition, but thought I saw something, I had not seen before, or let’s better say “heard” before. Two great young and good looking guys – one of them quite “particularly” dressed – making me lift my eyebrows and the other one, with an accordion quite “glamorously” decorated - hmmm – I say “hmmm” because not really the usual and common! Curiously I stopped and I was right: I had not heard this before….a voice, outstandingly strong peeking out of the large audience, without any amplification, in perfect harmony with the accordion. Picture right with writer in the middle. A very solid musical background for Roman D. Metzner (accordion, vocals) and Aaron Perry (professional classical singer) who have formed a Duo “The Royal Squeeze Box”, enchanting their audience and bringing back to the stage, the memories of the Queens with an homage to the legendary Freddie Mercury. A two man Show of 1 Accordion and 2 vocals replacing a whole rock band, orchestra, choir, being able to perform anywhere at all moments on any stage, from street performances to huge stages! “Living on My Own“ , “Bohemian Rhapsody“ and many others, and not missing of course “We Are the Champions“ - are just the right words for this new and fresh formation, where classic meets pop, where vocal completes the sound of the accordion, where memory meets presence and where dreams meet reality.
