As a solo artist Andi Sexgang Has also been highly prolific away from the band releasing his first solo album shortly after the Sex Gang Children split.
His latest album release is entitled The Madman in the Basket, which will be a mix of songs and spoken-word pieces. Also to be included on this will be the track Kriminaltango a well known “Schlagersong” which is a collaboration with Lucas Lanthier of the bands Cinema Strange and Dead Fly Ensemble.
There are a total of sixteen tracks on the album although the final four tracks are titled The Obituary Show and feature four spoken word tracks: Cruel and Beautiful, Orphian Strain Murder Inc. and Those Beasts Bleed.
