Armenian pop sensation and former national soccer masseuse Miss Jimi announced to reporters this week that she has joined Euro-Pop-Folk-Rock legends Wunderschnitzel on their new world tour. Her recent album, Kitty Go-Go has topped the Armenian charts for the past twelve weeks and has even been voted as Prime Minsister Serge Sargsyan's favorite music to relax and also to party. It was only ten yeas ago at the age of thirteen that Miss Jimi, whose real name is Doris Dzeron was crowned Miss Armenia. At eighteen she was the first masseuse to be rewarded the national medal of honour, after single handedly reviving the nation’s soccer team at half time when they were 2-0 down to Georgia. They came back to win 6-2.
Now at the age of twenty-four Miss Jimi has fulfilled another dream in becoming the nations most loved pop star with her first album, produced and co-written by Tuscan songster Rudy Fabulosi. Speaking to reporters at the Tea Rooms of the von Trapp family lodge in Austria in the company of both Magnus Glocken and Ludwig Speil, Miss Jimi said she was very excited to be joining the tour and to work on some electronic bongo ballads with the Wunderschnitzel duo.
“I’ve always loved their sound. I used to listen to their songs when I was a child model sensation. Those electric ukulele rhythms on The Yellow Album and the finger work on Bavarian Bongos was a great inspiration. And I've always thought their lyrics spoke to me personally you know? Like songs such as,'Under Age Sugar', 'Let Me Take You Somewhere Warm', and 'Kitchen Crime'. Now that I’m actually playing with them both I can barely believe it,” she said waving her signature upside down peace signs to the assembled journalists.
Also at the conference Magnus and Ludwig announced that they were adjusting their live show line up and dropping their four back up singers/wives now they had Jimi on side and would be looking to hire contract back up singers for the night if need be, while on the tour.
As reporters, technicians and body guards were treated some of Magnus’s renowned coffee and walnut mini Baumkuchens, Miss Jimi sang a remix of 'Fantasy' by Black Box, accompanied by Ludwig Speil on the sitar and Magnus Glocken on electric marimba, only a tasting of what fans will expect from their live concerts over the summer. No sooner had it ended when a disturbance broke out between the four Wunderschnitzel back up singers come wives and Miss Jimi. After a brief scuffle all back up singers were treated by ambulance staff and then arrested, while Miss Jimi, Magnus and Ludwig retired to the palatial Wunderschnitzel suit at the Von Trapp family guest house with their own plate cakes and a pot of strong Austrian coffee.
Wunderschnitzel kick off their six months over due, six month world tour with a concert at The Mehumpi Club - Sofia, Bulgaria –17 August. (Doors open at 9pm, Support groups-Ubër Kinda and Däs Fly Boys).

I think she looks older than 24! And she's not really a blond, just look at the roots. BTW, I have a friend who knows for a fact that she only won because even at 13 she was given it away.

I say rock on ladylegs, rock on.
At last a living legend with talent and looks to match- Move over 'Madge', Cilla Black and the rest of the tired has beens, let that voice and talent shine thru.
I don't care if she looks older than 24 or is not a real blond. No one cares these days if the collars and cuffs don't match - This lady of Rock has what it takes- Rock On the Wunderschitzels. Miss Jimi and finger lickin cookies from the boys, coupled with that haunting sound-who needs more!
