WUNDERSCHNITZEL ARRIVE IN SKOPJE

Miss Jimi entertains Macedonia's military brass

The LA Times

SKOPJE-MACEDONIA
It has been five years since Wunderschnitzel have visited Macedonia and by the reception they received at the Skopje bus station yesterday, it seems fans have forgotten the scandal that forced the band to flee the country the last time they played here. Magnus Glocken told the gathered crowd which included the city’s mayor that ‘it was wonderful to be received by such a large crowd that were not chanting and carrying Molotov cocktails’ and he thanked the assembled group of secret police for doing what they do best. Magnus Glocken, Ludwig Spiel and Miss Jimi were then whisked away on the back of a state of the art bullet proof horse and cart to open a new shopping centre, before lunch with military officials at a new franchise of 'Chicken, Chicken,Chicken.' As Magnus and Ludwig played the water drum and finger piano, Miss Jimi danced and sang on the restaurants table tops to the delight of the all male crowd.

That evening at Mister Bo Bo’s, a night club in the centre of the city’s Australian Quarter, Wunderschnitzel, Miss Jimi and a selection of hired local musicians played some of the band’s greatest hits including ‘Space Station Schnitzel’, ‘Backseat Bongos’, ‘Mama Wanted Me to Be in Finance’ and ‘Menu de Jour’. Tomorrow they head to Hungary where Miss Jimi has an appointment with celebrity chiropodist Doctor Derek, while the Wunderschnitzel boys have a photo shoot at The Thong Shop, before that evenings concert at Canoodle Hall where they will be supported by local techno rockers ‘Infantile Man Place’. Doors open at 9pm.
