Guess who won the spot on this week´s Rebel Playlist on Steve Lamacq´s BBC6 radio show! Oh, we´re not going to keep you guessing (that would be cruel): it´s Katzenjammer! Big, Big Thank Yous to everyone who voted!
Here, again, is Sol´s interview with mr. Lamacq from this summer´s Glastonbury Festival.
Johannes Andersen snapped a few at the concert in Drammens Teater on February 17th. The whole gallery is here.
“Soon enough they have the entire crowd singing along to their contagiously fun camp ditties – infused with a jumble of influences from Balkan Gypsy Folk to Cowboy Blues to Burlesque and everything else in between. Very obvious musical talents underpin their flair for colourful showmanship, preventing them from sounding like a novelty act.
Closing the set with sing-to-the-rafters, 4-piece a cappela ‘God’s Great Dust Storm’, they demonstrate how to shift from a lighthearted pop romp to blowing the roof off a cathedral in one move, leaving many a dropped jaw in their wake. Those searching for live entertainment of the highest caliber need look no further”
So, Sol made her cover version of SBTRKT´s “Hold On” (out on iTunes tomorrow, on the 16th of February) in a fit of boredom home from tour. This remix (made by St3n3, mastered by Hansi) came from pretty much the same place – sunday afternoon after a long weekend in a band van, and a new update of Ableton Live to play around with.
Hawaiian pop culture podcast Popspotting featured Katzenjammer in their Feedback Friday edition this weekend – you can hear or download the show here. Aloha!
