history

Novi Sad was founded by the singer Evelyn Blumenau, the guitarist Klaus Schuch aka Paris1914 , the synthesizer player Ludwig Zeininger aka Wiggo-tse and the drummer Manfred Scharf aka Moonday . The musicians have previously played with Peter Purgathofer in the pop band Wiener Aderlass Orchester . Their first appearance took place in the Vienna Music Club Chelsea in 1989. In 1990 they released the first long player Nuts 'n' Berries on vinyl on the label of the extra plate . In 1991 the group was invited to the New Music Seminar in New York and gave concerts at The Bitter End and The Limelight . In 1989 and 1992 Novi Sad composed the music for two films by Austrian director Gabriele Mathes . During the recording of the second album Dreaming Starts Here , which was released on CD, Wiggo-tse left the band. He was followed in 1992 by bassist Robert Worel aka Wurli and guitarist Erik Glaser aka Lützi . Tours in Southeast Europe followed. Lützi left the band three years later, but supported the band with the other albums in the studio. In the early 2000s, Novi Sad and the Viennese actor and cabaret artist Tristan Jorde developed the Ernst Jandl reading concert du sprecken deuts? which was performed in Austria, England and Georgia. Until 2002 Novi Sad acted as a quartet. During the recordings for the sixth album europe's other side , Stephan Lanner aka St. Stephan already played drums on several songs. Shortly afterwards he became a permanent member of the band and Moonday switched from drums to the accordion. Since then, Novi Sad have mainly played as a quintet, sometimes supported by guest musicians.
