What Bob Dylan had to work hard for a quarter of a century, Hazmat Modine has already easily achieved with their acclaimed debut album “Bahamut”. Since spring 2007, the eight New York musicians have been on a »never ending tour« through small clubs and large halls around the singer, guitarist and harmonica-virtuosa Wade Schuman. Whoever has heard this extraordinary roots music mix in live concert, which, in fact, totally goes by the ‘Zeitgeist’, and whoever has experienced this amalgamation of blues, jazz, rocksteady and klezmer, Balkan folklore and southern soul, virtuously and humorously presented, knows that Hazmat Modine changes every venue into a party zone, but a party zone with an awareness of history. The uninterrupted touring has let the band get even move closer together; though the long heralded and, according to the rules of the trade, long overdue second album has been put off over and over again due to schedule difficulties. All the same: “Cicada” (Album title) will finally see the light of day at the Heidelberg Stadthalle. Then, the dazzling-fervent live version of Frederick Knight’s soul classic “I’ve been lonely for so long” will not only finally be on record, but one will also get to experience what Hazmat Modine with the Kronos Quartet and the Gangbé Brass Band from Benin do with it.
