Pop ’n‘ Rock at the Jazz institution with Message

Ankathie Koi, Lukas Oscar

‚Tanz dich rein!‘ presented by Spoon Agency at Porgy & Bess Wien, Austria 20241218

In the middle of the high season of Christmas parties, Spoon Agency presents a Pop Rock concert in the cosy depths of the Porgy & Bess. The Jazz club in the first district hosted legends like Ian Paice as well as local ones like Robb, 5K HD or Rosi Spezial, who soon will play at the Rauhnächte at Remise Bludenz. 

Maybe because the ticket announced 8.30 pm, the rows are quite empty as support Lukas Oscar starts. But this will change throughout his set, as the singer-songwriter is known from radio fm4 and performing at Metastadt, Superbude or Chelsea. On stage he appears with Timmi on guitar, presenting songs from his debut „The Fun Never Ends!“ like „Snakes & Ladders“ and „High Performance Kids“. It has been released only two months ago and tells about facing things you might not like and maybe turn them around. And Lukas Oscar is not the only one with songs with messages this night.

Ankathie Koi does as well and toured with them a lot lately from Konzerthaus to Feldkirch to Germany and back and continuing in 2025. „Don’t You Want Me“ rings in her show set in fog, turning the Porgy & Bess to an 80s discotheque. „Viktoria“ is about a supportive female friendship and the audience does a great job singing with her, while for „Baby Boy“, drummer Michael Schatzmann makes use of the bongos. 

With „Hurricane“, Ankathie Koi points out, that women are capable of everything and should not be suppressed. More emotional highlights are „The Light“ as well as the „Under Pressure“ cover of Queen and David Bowie, for which Lukas Oscar joins on vocals ones more. 

The energy level is high like the range of the voices of the protagonists. The fantastic club atmosphere can be watched online via stream. And soon the parade of the who is who continues with names like Mira Lu Kovacs, Karl Ritter, Kollegium Kalksburg and more.
