After nearly two years delayed in Sofia after the first gig of their 2007 East European rock tour, Wunderschnitzel have finally left the Bulgarian capital, known for its smoked cheeses and frilly folkish undergarments. Electro Folk Rock Pop maestros Magnus Glocken and Ludwig Spiel had meant to leave the day after their gig in 2007, but a series of events sidetracked and hijacked the tour. Firstly Miss Jimi, the Armenian pop sensation who has joined the band for the tour, was charged with the death of the Bulgarian Minister of the Exterior, found bound in a hotel closet wearing only a scuba mask. Due to her fame she was not jailed, but had to remain under close house arrest in the palatial apartment belonging to the Minister of the Interior. Now a mother of triplets and a free woman she is ready to slip back into her signature stretched swimsuit and fur coat and entertain rock fans across Eastern Europe again.
Meanwhile during this unexpected time off Magnus Glocken took the opportunity to visit some of his Bulgarian investments including a series of sweatshops making lingerie for teenagers. After this he rented a cell in the nunnery of Saint Kylie and finished his PhD dissertation entitled 'Cake Making and the Rise of The Prussian Empire.' Ludwig Spiel on the other hand spent his time exploring the streets of Sofia after dark and fraternizing with businessmen with similar tastes. One such encounter he claims, gave him the idea of opening Bulgaria’s premier World of Ladders Warehouse, found on the E871 just past the Chinese takeaway near Bozhurishte, their sales motto being, ‘Elevation at rock bottom prices.’
Now back on the road Wunderschnitzel & Miss Jimi told the BBC World Service via telephone this week that although fans lost all their money with the purchase of the 2007 tickets, they would only have to pay 75% for another ticket, but there would be no discounts for students, old age pensioners or animals.
