Even Nobel Prize Leaureates Like Katzenjammer.
Paul Krugman, bad-ass keynesian economics prof at Princeton, New York Times op-ed columnist, Nobel Prize leaureate and one of the most popular bloggers in the world, puts up a video of Demon Kitty Rag as his Friday Night Music relief moment away from the more or less wonkish (and these days pretty dreary) analyses of coming Greek defaults and the Medicare-busting Ryan budget.
“A commenter recommended this group”, he writes, “and they’re just what I needed to cheer me up after a cold, very rainy day in southern California.” Glad to be of service, professor Krugman!
Rock, Paper, Scissors Nabs The Rebel Playlist.
And once again all you super-duper people have propelled Katzenjammer onto every daytime programme on BBC6 for a whole week, via Steve Lamacq´s Rebel Playlist! Thanks again for voting!
Rock, Email, Rebels.
In February, all the fabulous Katzenjammer people on the net helped the band win the spot on Steve Lamacq´s Rebel Playlist on BBC 6, which meant that “I Will Dance” was played on every daytime programme on the channel for a whole week.
Well, now Katzenjammer are up for another round, this time for “Rock, Paper, Scissors”: you can lend a hand by going here and sending an email to Steve. Thank You!
Call Of The Wyld At Scala
Blog Call Of The Wyld reviews the Scala London gig:
“The girls take it in turns to showcase themselves. It is pure Vaudeville. Banjos are plucked, ukuleles are strummed, and accordions are wheezed. There is much harmonising. Anne Marit, Marianne, Solveig and Turid are so impressive that it is hard to resist them.”
“Watching them perform, you get the feeling that the only thing that could limit Katzenjammer’s success would be the size of audience that they can play to. They will do fearsome damage at this summer’s festivals.”
Back In The Р.о.с.с.и.я.
Yep, Tanya, Anya, Maschke and Sveta are going back to Russia this summer: June 2nd at the Wild Mint World Music Festival in Moscow, June 3d at lovely Arkhangelskoe Manor for the Usad’ba Jazz Festival.
The last time Katzenjammer visited the Russian capital, it was in the middle of (a bitingly cold) winter, as you can see from Turid (or Tanya)´s blog post. Hopefully, this time there won´t be need for that proto-russian headgear which we in Norwegian have named after a bear´s lady parts.
Sporting A Mohawk.
Marianne (pushing the boundaries of where having your very own hair stylist can get you) and Anne Marit in action at the extra Rockefeller show in Oslo. More photos by Andrea Chirulescu here.
