I don’t know if  many people  remember Austrian Hip-Hop/Classical Muso, Punk Rockin, Dracula faced, James Bond-esque Falco, but when I was a nipper I actually had three albums by him! Yes he had at least three as well. Obviously in the UK and USA he was most famous for “Rock Me Amadeus”, some may even recall the poorly recieved “Vienna Calling” (tra-tra-tra!). Johan Holzel (Falco) tragically died in 1998 in a car accident.

However, he has been immortalised in an Austrian musical, cleverly entitled Falco meets Amadeus (see what they did there!) Now that I want to see. He was a massive hero in Austria (mind you so is Dj Otzi) and I believe the only way to watch the musical would be in German, unless they’ve managed subtitles at the theatre, which I don’t think they have yet. I’d love to see the musical interpretations of lyrics like “Munich Girls, jus-a -lookin’ for love” and “Cowboys and Indians: Russia and the USA”.

If anyone knows if this is out on Region 2 DVD I’d love you to post a comment!
