About Us

The five soul ladies, power women, cheeky brats and stage goddesses lend the a cappella genre a new voice, or rather five new voices. With their own songs, well-known soul hits and modern catchy tunes, they cast a spell over the audience. With their voices alone, the five singers create a sound that comes pretty close to that of an instrumental band.

Die Beatboxerin Lilly (eine der wenigen BeatboxerINNEN Europas) verleiht jedem Arrangement einen fetten Beat. Stimmkünstlerinnen Juci Janoska, Nina Braith aka Inana und Ursi Wögerer aka Miss Bunpun erzeugen unter anderem Sounds, die durch Mund, Nase, Lippen und technische Soundeffekte gefiltert und entfremdet werden. Alle 3 sind stimmgewaltige Solistinnen, die auf der Bühne die Sau rauslassen, abrocken, berühren und das Publikum zum Mitsingen animieren. Bassistin Mira schwingt nicht nur gekonnt das Tanzbein sondern grooved, unterstützt durch einen Octaver, in den tiefsten Tiefen einer weiblichen Stimme.

The band puts particular emphasis on show elements, such as groovy and captivating choreography and dance interludes. From cool jeans outfits to glittering sequins, the girls have everything in their closet to make a concert unforgettable. A special treat is their neon show with UV light, in which they light up the audience with their universe-style and glowing body painting.

Beat Poetry Club guarantees a breathtaking performance, adapted to every event.

Whether the audience wants to sing along, dance along or simply enjoy, the soul ladies hit the right note for every situation.

Our Story

BEAT POETRY CLUB - Female a-capella Soul is a female a-capella band from Vienna that was founded in 2012. From the very beginning, artistic standards were very important to the five women and so they decided to perform exclusively their own songs and arrangements. In addition to numerous concerts at home and abroad, they have also won various competitions:

Golden Diploma at the international a cappella competition "Vokal Total" 2015, special prize at the "German A-cappella-Contest" 2016 for sound design, 1st place 2016 at the "A capideo Videowettbewerb", 1st place at the songwriting competition "Gebt uns Songs" by the German Choir Association 2016, semi-final at the ORF casting show "Die Große Chance der Chöre".

In the fall of 2017, the 5 power women released their first studio album "We Talked All Night", which exclusively contains their own songs. The album was produced by none other than producer Zebo Adam (Bilderbuch and many more). The modern and special kind of a-capella that characterizes BEAT POETRY CLUB is supported by technical equipment such as loop station and octaver and effects such as flanger, distortion ect. Not only the artistic aspect is very important to the singers of BEAT POETRY CLUB, but also music education.

In addition to workshops and individual lessons on the subject of "voice, a cappella, beatboxing, performance", they also regularly perform in schools and social institutions with a focus on interaction with the audience. A specially conceived and composed "join-in a cappella music theater piece" for children (Gespensterklänge) was performed for the first time in autumn 2017 as part of Jeunesse in various schools throughout Austria.
