As always, in addition to the special interpretations of the songs, there is plenty of information and witty remarks offered spontaneously by the protagonists in the typical Monti Beton style. CHEERS!
About Monti Beton:
In Europe, there is hardly a band that dedicates itself so intensively to the cultivation of elevated rock and pop music - without acting as a typical cover band - as the Vienna-based group MONTI BETON. Specifically, the band has been focusing for over 40 years primarily on artists or groups that are no longer seen live, whose music, however, can now certainly be considered contemporary. MONTI BETON consistently manages to connect with the roots of this music and its artists, thus conveying the maximum message of the original without imitating it, but rather interpreting it in the typical MONTI BETON style, that is, in a humorous and entertaining way. MONTI BETON has created its own full-length programs that include the music of the Beatles, Elvis, Kinks, Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, David Bowie, or the Doors.
Together with Goleador Hans Krankl, the Vienna cult band has developed additional programs: alongside "Die Nacht des Austropop," there is also "Christmas Classics Extravaganza," "Il Spettacolo Italo-Americano," and "Die Schlagernacht des Schlagers." On July 5, 2025, Johann K. and Monti Beton celebrated their joint 20th stage anniversary with a unique event at the Vienna State Opera.
