KAY LUTTER & MONOMANN PLAY THE MUSIC OF BLUES SUMMER

Bassists are strange beings. They don't like to be in the spotlight and prefer to enjoy their existence in the less illuminated area of the stage. They are shy, always introspective, and hide their talent behind the 4 or 5 strings of their often underestimated instrument. This is also true for the protagonist Mike Bergner from my novel, who visibly enjoys his sudden fame in the all-too-short Blues Summer but still doubts himself. The journey is the destination in the search for freedom—this realization by Mike takes a long time, but then he grabs his bass, moves to Prenzlauer Berg in East Berlin, and becomes a member of the famous-infamous band MONOMANN.

MONOMANN only exists in my novel "Blues Summer," even though there are certainly enough role models. That's why I brought the band to life for my reading tour in 2018. Reading about music without having music to accompany it was simply unimaginable to me! But as in the 80s, things continue to evolve today. I am already working on the next novel, while MONOMANN still exists. We have become fond of the songs from the blues and hippie movements of the 80s in East Germany, where we danced around pouches with long hair and never ran out of unfiltered cigarettes. And by now, a few new songs have even been created. Included are Brian Bosse, formerly the singer and guitarist of the band FREYGANGBAND, Albrecht Steinfort, drummer of the Berlin band UTE KABEL, and my friend and bandmate Michael Rhein from IN EXTREMO. - Kay Lutter
