The Beez
“Love, Beez & Happiness” is a tribute to the greats and the not-so-greats, to the famous and to the forgotten stars of rock and pop from the 20th century to the present. The Berliner kitsch-pop band play their favourite songs and leave no stone unrolled.The Beez´ trilogy of humour, velvet voices and intriguing instrumentalism (a line-up of guitar, accordion, accoustic bass and percussion) provides the basis for an evening with unpredictable outbursts of charm. The fours´philosophy is to give the imagination free rein amongst intricately arranged pop gems. Love of detail, improvisational talent and authenticity are Beez trumps and, at the end of the evening, when everyone has long surrendered to that most humiliating of spectacles – audience participation! – you know that the call of the beehive has been answered.
