Café Passé is the second music album by the Austropop band Erste Allgemeine Verunsicherung , released in 1981 .

background

Erste Allgemeine Verunsicherung, founded in 1977 as the successor to the group “Antipasta”, recorded this second studio album Café Passé in August and September 1980 in the Magic Sound Studio in Graz , where it was also mixed. In 1981 this album received the German Record Critics Award. An excerpt from the jury's reasoning:

“In the past decade, political rock groups emerged en másse. The Viennese rock cabaret 'Erste Allgemeine Verunsicherung' differs from these in its second program 'Café Passé' in that the witty lyrics and the rock music are given equal weight. The anarchic gesture of the mocking blows that the six men distribute on all sides. "

Frieder Grindler is specified for the cover and design of the album, Thomas Spitzer for graphics . The album cover shows six band members - from left to right - in the top row: Walter Hammerl, Anders Stenmo, Nino Holm, Eik Breit; in the second, bottom row: Marina Tatic, Thomas Spitzer. The cover of the album comes from the band's promo photos, which were probably taken in 1978 and made by Thomas Drasdauskes. This explains why Marina Tatic was featured on the cover, but was no longer in the band when Café Passé was recorded. The band's set designer left the group in 1979 at the latest and later married Wilfried Scheutz (“Südwind”).

After several appearances in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, the former conférencier Walter Hammerl committed suicide before this sound carrier was even completed . Klaus Eberhartinger joins the band for him and from then on takes on the role of Hammerl. However, he only officially joined the band after the recordings of the Café Passé record, and Eberhartinger only took on the role of singer in the group's later program. The former EAV members Steinbäcker , Timischl , Schiffkowitz (real name Helmut Röhrling) founded the Austropop band STS named after their initials in 1975 , with which they made a career after leaving the EAV.

Café Passé was released as an LP in 1981 and has only been available as second-hand goods since then. In 1992 a “limited” edition was released on CD (according to the cover information) , but it is still available today.

All of the lyrics on this album were written by Thomas Spitzer, most of the music as well, exceptions on this sound carrier are Aberakadabera (Gert Steinbäcker), Vienna (Spitzer / Steinbäcker), and Oh, nur Du (text and music EAV / Buck / Rant). Café Passé contains u. a. the military-critical song We march .

Were from the album as singles titles Alps Punk and "Oh, only you" decoupled (both released in 1981). These were not yet commercially successful, but the band was able to increase their level of awareness nationwide, including in neighboring countries, not least through the roughly 300 live performances on the tour from 1980 to 1982.
