Back from the place, where all that street stuff started, all that hard kids today got their roots on being cool, being a wanna-gee, possessing at least one oldschool adidas training jacket or a Superstar, we got something almost every German Kid of the 80s had to deal with because his/her parents never stopped spinning this man on their gramophone.

We talk about the Austrian Ultra Hustler, one of the most excentric broken persons in Middle Europe: Falco aka Johann Hölzel, who ran his most gleaming business and his international breakthrough in the middle 1980s with his 3rd album “Falco 3″, lifting the singles “Rock me Amadeus”, “Vienna Calling” and “Jeanny” (which was highly discussed in Germany because of glorification of a violent act). Nevertheless or because of that Falco became very successful, hang around for weeks on the 1st place in German Charts and sold “Jeanny” about 2.500.000times.

His success continued by publishing his 4th record “Emotional” and Falco started a world tour, that he cancelled on his own, because of homesickness and the fear of the accountabilities of (maybe) becoming known and famous around the globe. Quoting Falco: „I often had the chance playing in America. I haven’t done, because the most beautiful of the American Flag are the redwhitered stripes.” (allusion to the reason becoming no star in USA)

We call Faco “The feeling of being born in the wrong century”, cause that’s what perfectly fits, checking this Austrian rococonian personalization of lascivious appearance, decadent living and keeping countenance.
