His name is Hering—Maximilian Hering (English: “Herring”). It quickly became clear to the German drummer and composer that he should use it as a tag for a band name and the title of the album debut. The English “to throw a red herring” literally means deliberately introducing irrelevant or misleading information to divert attention away from the real issue and consequently create a distraction. “Butter bei die Fische” is a traditional, even today ubiquitous saying from northern German, with which one asks someone to get to the point or not to do any half-way measures.Maximilian Hering admitted with a laugh that he was originally not familiar the saying with the fish. No wonder: the musician grew up in Mainz, studied in Arnhem in the Netherlands, then lived in Barcelona for two years, and recently moved from Mainz to Cologne. “Butter bei die Fische” is a northern German saying that literally translates as “Butter with the fish” but means get to the point; he hadn’t heard that anywhere on all his paths in life. Hering likes something like that. “I’ve always found it funny when people like Thelonious Monk or Lee Konitz refer to their name in titles.” There is also an attitude to life contained therein: “I often try to take things with humor. It can seem strange and even dangerous to take something too seriously. In principle, it is good not to always take yourself too seriously.” This is also reflected in a pleasant degree of modesty. After all, he himself emphasized, his name is not among the widely established ones in the field, but instead he is just getting started with Red Hering as well as the other groups and projects in his sphere of activity.
