music

At the beginning of the 1960s, Nielebock played with various musicians and bands (Umbrella Jazz Band, Ur-Magics) and the Magics in the hip jazz and rock pubs in Berlin at the time, especially in those that were set up for the American occupation soldiers, for example " Players Inn "," Playmate "" Club 45 "and" Western Saloon ".

The final band members of the Magics were:

• "Andy" Nielebock (bass guitar)
• Tom Wetzel (drums)
• Lothar Ferchland (rhythm guitar)
• Walter Stein (lead guitar)

Walter Stein was the son of the then Berlin Senator for Culture, Werner Stein . Drafi Deutscher then became her lead singer. Drafi Deutscher and his Magics were born in the 1960s a. a. with songs like Shake Hands , Teeny , Keep Smiling , Cinderella Baby , Today I paint your picture, Cindy Lou and Take me as I am to one of the most successful bands in Germany. With marble, stone and iron breaks , they were number 1 on the charts for weeks. Tours followed (the first was with Cliff Richard and the Shadows , the Magics formed the opening act together with Drafi). TV appearances there were u. a. with music from Studio B (moderator Chris Howland ) and The Golden Shot . In 1966 the band made it into the Chronik der Deutschen 1966 (Chronik Verlag). The songs Hallo little Girl and Honey Bee were published under The Magics and Drafi .

After separating from Drafi Deutscher, The Magics released the titles Mr. Tambourine Man and Crying in the Morning , then the band split. "Andy" Nielebock tried a solo career with the title Love comes and goes , with which he appeared at the 1967 radio exhibition. In the 1990s, together with trombonist Bernd Schiel, he bought the traditional jazz bar "Ewige Lampe" to prevent it from being converted into a pizzeria. The Magics had one last appearance together with Drafi Deutscher in 2005 on the Berlin Waldbühne in front of around 14,000 spectators.
