Voodoo Jürgens & Die Ansa Panier | Das Krampuskränzchen

The KRAMPUS CONCERTS, which have become legendary in Graz and elsewhere, are back. Together we celebrate a tribute to the traditional “KRAMPUSRUMMEL” concerts by DR. KURT OSTBAHN vulgo OSTBAHN KURTI and his combo. Graz will also be getting a nice visit from Vienna for Krampus 2026. And who is predestined for this: exactly, Voodoo Jürgens & Die Ansa Panier!

GSCHNAS is the fourth Voodoo Jürgens album.
A new phase Voodoo Jürgens album.

Three years after the masterpiece Wie die Nocht noch jung wor, he is back as a pop star against his will. Last year, he won the Austrian Film Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role in Adrian Goiginger’s hit movie Rickerl. His previous albums have won Amadeus Awards, i.e. Austro-Grammys, and all his tours throughout the German-speaking world are regularly sold out.

Now it was time to take stock again. The Beisl biotope was yesterday. Precisely because the numerous voodoo epigones have enjoyed peddling it for years. Now it’s all about the wide world out there. And the small one inside: the one in your own soul.

The lyrics and sound on Gschnas für Voodoo are about your own autonomy, the rebirth of inspiration, pedaling free from the typical Austrian narrowness that pushes you down. In short: it’s about everything. The energy with which he and his band, who are on fire, ride out this masterpiece of an album, the joy of playing and the self-confidence with which an artist rethinks without giving up what he has developed and revitalizes himself in the process.

Open-heart exorcism, so to speak, and we’re there live!

Plus his best melodies, his truest lyrics, his most urgent performances, and a Wolfgang Lehman (AKA Möstl) production that smells like a magnum opus to everyone involved. It can do something. And not only that. An album born out of doubt, for which it rains carnival doughnuts at the end. An album as an event, in a time that has forgotten itself. “And everyone should get something out of it!” Voodoo implores us in perhaps the most successful song of his career to date. A self-fulfilling prophecy. Or also: Voodoo magic that works and works and works…!
