Von Hertzen Brothers performs at the Boogaloo Club, Zagreb
Von Hertzen Brothers, a Finnish progressive rock band consisting of the three von Hertzen brothers, will perform at the Boogaloo Club in Zagreb on Monday, October 17, 2011.
True to their name, the Von Hertzen Brothers are bonded by blood and this brotherly connection really shines through in the music. It's rare for a progressive and challenging rock album to top the national charts but Von Hertzen Brothers did it twice - with their 2nd album "Approach" and again with their 3rd "Love Remains The Same". Both albums have been certified gold in their native Finland.
On stage their passionate and huge-sounding music seems to take on another dimension and they're quickly becoming renowned for their wild and energetic live performances. These "mad brothers of rock" sound like Foo Fighters playing Pink Floyd's greatest hits after spending years in India singing Beach Boys.
The band have just completed and released their 4th studio album, entitled Stars Aligned, on March 21st 2011. Expect the biggest sounding psychedelic rock album you´ve heard, married with sing along pop choruses. As always, the Von Hertzen Brothers are pushing their boundaries to make their musical journey interesting and fulfilling, euphoric and adventurous, spiritual and heartbreaking.
Drawing lyrical influences from writers such as William Blake, classic Indian authors, and numerous well-known Finnish poets, all the songs originate from the deep yearning for freedom and peace of mind that the brothers feel.
"Von Hertzen" is German and means "from the heart". "That's what we try to always keep in mind when writing or performing. We feel it's useless if it doesn't come from our hearts. The point of music, any kind of music, is to create wonderful experiences that are somehow elevating and encouraging. That's our mission. The music is our instrument".
