About Selig

Selig, a name synonymous with uncompromising rock integrity and profound lyrical depth, have carved a distinctive niche in the German music landscape since their formation in Hamburg in the early 1990s. Emerging from the fertile grounds of the German independent scene, Selig quickly distinguished themselves with a sound that was both classically rooted in rock traditions and refreshingly modern. Their early success was propelled by a relentless touring schedule and a reputation for electrifying live performances that captivated audiences with their raw energy and Jan Plewka’s compelling vocal delivery.

Their breakthrough came with the release of their self-titled debut album in 1994, which immediately garnered critical acclaim and commercial success. This was followed by a string of highly successful albums, each showcasing their evolution as musicians and songwriters. Tracks like “Big Bang” and “Venus & Mars” became anthems for a generation, their anthemic choruses and introspective lyrics striking a chord with a wide audience. Selig’s music is characterised by its powerful guitar riffs, a solid and dynamic rhythm section, and Plewka’s distinctive, often melancholic, yet always passionate, vocal style.

Over the decades, Selig have consistently defied expectations, navigating changes in the music industry with steadfast artistic vision. They have released a significant body of work, including albums such as “Carros” (1996), “Knochenstaub” (1999), and “Von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit” (2001), each contributing to their enduring legacy. Their commitment to artistic authenticity and their ability to connect with listeners on an emotional level have solidified their status as a revered and influential band. Selig’s music often delves into themes of love, loss, societal observation, and the human condition, delivered with a sincerity that resonates deeply. Their longevity is a testament to their unwavering dedication to their craft and their unparalleled ability to craft songs that are both timeless and timely. The upcoming performance at ROXY Ulm promises to be a powerful reminder of their enduring appeal and their masterful command of the rock genre.
