PAGE 1 - HEINRICH's INTRODUCTION: HEINRICH XIII AND THE DEVILGRASS PICKERS straight, true & hellbound country music HEINRICH XIII AND THE DEVILGRASS PICKERS are one of the few german outlaw country bands. We play a mixture of patriarchal country music with bluegrass elements, often paired with the aggressiveness, speed and the ruthless candor of metal, which builds a strong part of our roots. Thereby we join a group of US musicians, who mainly act in the underground. They often come from the metal and punk scene and they are pioneers of the revival and reinvention of real and true country music. Music like it has been played by country legends as Hank Williams, Jimmie Rodgers, Dock Boggs and many other more than 50 years ago: Genuine and free from the dishonest and absolutely fungible Pop Country, like it's fabricated by a lot of today's "country stars" for example. The root of country music IS NOT a worth million record company, which constructs and produces music just as needed, to let it perform by face painted, solarium tanned crush boys and showpiece sons-in-law who are nothing more than an artificial product of the music industry. The root of real country music IS the country and that just means it is music made by real people and made for real people. straight, true & hellbound HEINRICH XIII "Country music is three chords and the truth." Harlan Howard HEINRICH XIII AND THE DEVILGRASS PICKERS are: Henric "Heinrich" Steuernagel: vocals & acoustic guitar Joscha "Puky" Pulkert: upright bass Sergej Köhn: banjo Christoph Kipper: drums & mandoline Sascha Malfeld: electric- & slide guitars PAGE 2 - BAND BIOGRAPHY: HEINRICH XIII: The cornerstone for HEINRICH XIII AND THE DEVILGRASS PICKERS was set in the early 80ies. At this time the singer and guitarist of the band, Henric Steuernagel was still in an early age and was deeply influenced by american movies and american music. Back then the first sympathies for country music built up. In the following years, in which also the name "Heinrich" was imposed on him, his way lead to a heavier path. A metallic path to be exact. As singer and guitarist he founded the metal band ESCALATIONUNIT CHAOS ENGINE in 1996, which present members built the scoring of the DEVILGRASS PICKERS almost complete. THE FIRST STEPS: Together with Sven Klaka from ETERNAL PAIN, in 2005 the first tentative steps took place on a softer and also very fertile country ground. A few songs have been written and some cover versions have been given at the domestic rehearsal space. Three years later there was no escape anymore: HEINRICH XIII AND THE DEVILGRASS PICKERS had to be founded. There were enough own songs, musicians with a real outlaw country soul and an irrepressible will. THE DEVILGRASS PICKERS: Joscha "Puky" Pulkert, EUCE percussionist and ETERNAL PAIN singer learned to play bass. Christoph Kipper, EUCE drummer and RECKLESS guitarist, took over the drums at the DEVILGRASS PICKERS once again and that's why he's more the DEVILGRASS KICKER of the formation, anyhow he mastered the mandolin play good enough to tune into the softer songs. Sergej Köhn, on his side EUCE percussionist too, assumed one of the hardest tasks and tries to become friends with his banjo since then. Sascha Malfeld, EUCE and RECKLESS guitarist in charge for the melodies of the songs and plays instruments such as electric guitar, dobro and steel guitar. THE RECORDS: "DEVILGRASS COUNTRY" is the inofficial first album. 13 tracks containing demos, live recordings and songs that won’t make it on the successor "13 - THE DEVIL'S DOZEN", completely home recorded. It came out 2009 and was limited to 1000 physical copies. The second album "13 - THE DEVIL'S DOZEN" will follow 2011. Once more 13 songs about violence, whiskey and women, that are generally a crossbreed between country, bluegrass and a breath of metal feeling. All velocities will be included: from calm ballads to moshpit suitable antisocial redneck classics. It’s also a home recording project, but it will be mixed and mastered in a professionell studio. THE PERFORMANCE: Heinrich XIII and the Devilgrass Pickers became known quick through MySpace, where they count over 30,000 friends already. The growing worldwide connections brought a lot of gig offers with it. Such as shows with Bob Wayne and the Outlaw Carnies, Joe Buck Yourself, the .357 String Band, J.B. Beverley and the Wayward Drifters and many more. They toured Germany and other european countries and an USA Tour tour is being planned right now. Also underground radio stations in different countries started to pay attention and play their music.
