Interview: The three young men from Berlin started in 2007 a 'voc' n Roll "(vocal rock 'n roll) band: The Baseballs. All three are not only big fans of rock 'n roll Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis and Buddy Holly, but is also the whole' fifties lifestyle it enormously. As teenagers they let grow forelocks: "If you wanted to rebel against your parents you just had to grow a forelock and put on a leather jacket,''says Basti. Nowaday you-can hardly shock your parents anymore - unless you decide to become an investment banker. "With a rockabilly cover of Rihanna's Umbrella The Baseballs stormed the charts. But Sam, Digger and Basti have more to offer. A meeting with The Baseballs, is like stepping back in time. Digger (Rüdiger Brans real name), Sam (Sven Budja) and Basti (Sebastian Raetzel) look like James Dean, Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis in their early years. Complete with greasy combs, thick sideburns, blouses, jeans and All Stars. Also their music is reminiscent of the 50s and 60s of last century. Were it not for the modern songs that the German trio has taken in hand. "When we just met, we made classic rock and roll "said Digger, the most talkative of the three. Cool "We were looking for an opportunity for young people listen to rock and roll again. That music is so cool. When we sing old songs or our own, then people think that the songs are from the 50s or 60s. "Therefore we have chosen covers of contemporary songs, it's a way for people in contact with rock - 'n' roll and The Baseballs. "On Strike debut features twelve covers include Rihanna, Katy Perry, Pussycat Dolls and Robbie Williams. Digger: "We have own songs too, but yet we play only during performances." Tactics The Baseballs's tactics seem to work. "Young people are now asking us what more they can listen. "Begin with an album of Elvis Presley ', we say, haha." As with all three men their love for rock' n 'roll began with The King. Basti: "I was seven or eight, and every Saturday there was an Elvis movie on German television. Not only I liked the movies, I was also impressed by the person, the music and the voice of Elvis. So I bought a cassette tape. " Jumpsuit Sam got the love for Elvis from his parents. "My mother was and is a huge fan of Elvis. But it really started for me when I found an LP of Elvis in my brother's room. I was six, saw the cover photo of The King in his white jumpsuit and listened That's Alright Mama. I knew then that music was what I loved. "My parents gave me a cassette tape with songs by Elvis for Christmas, "said Digger about his love for the genre. "The first song I heard was Devil In Disguise (starts singing). I was sold and then asked every birthday and Christmas a tape with new rock 'n' roll. Example: Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis. " Lifestyle For Digger, Basti and Sam is rock and roll more than just music, it's a lifestyle. "Our love for rock 'n' roll continues. So we like to watch movies from the early days of rock and roll. Movies for example James Dean and Elvis. "It is often said that movies are not so good, but it is mainly about fun. Digger: "Rock and roll for your feet, hips and fingers. It is mainly about having fun.'' "When they met several years ago, in Berlin in a rehearsal room where mainly practiced metal bands, they attacked each other directly. "We were the only three with sideburns and greased quiffs" laughs Basti. Together they sang Blue Suede Shoes. "We just started singing," says Sam. "Without an agree who would sing high and low. And it sounded great. "But that meeting was not directly the birth of The Baseballs. "We first mailed a few months, before there was a second meeting." Digger looks back. What started out playing old rock and roll songs, soon led in the direction the trio is now: successfully. Jamming The selection is simple, says Basti. "You hear a song on the radio and you wonder whether we can cover. Then, starts jamming in the rehearsal room. This eventually leads to an arrangement, though it's not always very easy." "Rock and roll is basically very simple music, it has only three chords. Modern songs are composed of many more agreements. And that we should look to bring back to rock and roll. Fortunately we have a very good relationship for us. "Since then it went hard with The Baseballs, their first strike! It was not only in Germany but also in Sweden, Finland and Norway, a big hit. "Everything that happened last year, surprised us," admits Digger. Revival "We never expected our jam sessions would lead to an album. And that the same album would be successful outside Germany. Hopefully this will lead to a revival of rock and roll as for example, happened in the 80's with the Stray Cats and Shakin 'Stevens. That's our goal, "concludes Digger.
