RPWL hails from Freising (Bavaria) and started out as a Pink Floyd cover band. In 1997 the band got its final name consisting of the first letters of the members’ last names. Kalle Wallner and Yogi Lang are still left of this line-up. With Markus Jehle (keyboards) and Marc Turiaux (drums), they have added top musicians who ensure German musical class and solidity.
RPWL’s music can best be described as ‘art and progressive rock’, but with a lot of attention to the song and the atmosphere. Both are strongly determined by the melodic guitar playing of Kalle Wallner and the atmospheric voice of Yogi Lang. After 10 studio albums, a ‘best of’ album and several live albums and (solo) projects by Lang and Wallner, the concert film about the 1st album (from 2000) “God Has Failed – Live & Personal” was released in 2021.
Of course, RPWL has also had to deal with the corona pandemic; now that the weather is possible, they will first tour with a ‘Best of RPWL’ show. So expect a generous selection from RPWL’s own repertoire of more than 22 years, but certainly also songs for the new album, which the band will record after the tour. RPWL stands for pure class, so don’t miss this special evening!
