Tina Anders' Compelling Austrian Schlager

Tina Anders has produced some
utterly enjoyable schlager music

You can't help but like an Austrian girl who lists the USA as her favorite country and yearns to visit NYC and California once again. (She says that her favorite drink is pear juice, so she should fit right in with the health nuts on Venice Beach.)

But it's all the easier to like her when she turns out a compelling schlager sound with just the right mixture of soft femininity and Andrea Berg-like assertiveness.(Like Berg she even wears leather on stage sometimes)

Tina Anders is the stage name adopted by Martina Angerer, a thirty-something from Trieben in the Southeastern Styrian part of Austria. She's been immersed in music since her teens when she received professional voice and music instruction for several years.

She works in an office by day, but has still found the time to front for several local schlager bands and to vocally back up some fairly well-known schlager acts like Klostertaler, Andreas Fulterer and Nordwand.

She's decided to go it alone now and collaborating with CM Records' Christian Maier and fellow singer and friend, Christa Fartek has begun to produce some pretty nice and utterly enjoyable schlager music.

Here is a brand new video of what we think is her nicest schlager offering, Irren ist männlich (Men are incomprehensible)
