Clara Bow - Wer war das noch mal? Namensvorbild dieser fünf sympathischen Haudraufdamen aus der Elbmetropole ist das gewisse It-girl, das in den 20er Jahren schon zu so mancher Atemlosigkeit männlicherseits geführt hat. Heute wollen die glitterglamourösen Ladies nahtlos an diese Tradition anknüpfen und ihre Zuhörer ebenso in einen Freudentaumel aus Rrrriot-Sperrigkeit und zuckersüßem Kätzchencharme verfrachten. Hier ist erlaubt, was gefällt und das ist unperfektionistischer ny-no-wave-punk im Stil der Moldy Peaches und von Le Tigre.
Biography of Clara Bow
October 2003: Two girls full of action finally found each other in Hamburg! Realising
that they both dreamt of starting an all-girl-band but had never met the right people to fulfil their vision (which means no horny guys just wanting to prettify their band or people with no taste at all), new plans were made on the spot: Vera Weiss and Katrin Hesse both wanted to sing and to play the guitar! However, their motivation in practising the guitar was quite low during the last years, as they had already given up the idea of forming a band. Although Katrin (La Chatte) had managed to find a substitute in dj-ing her favourite tunes, it couldn't give birth to her many bubblying ideas. But, happily, in the end, they found somebody else in the same unsatisfying situation.
The Kick-off for finally starting to practise together was when Katrin won "3 months of using the rehearsal rooms in the FMZ for free" at the Ladyfest in Hamburg (Lots of thanks to you!!!). The first obstacle removed, they "just" needed to put together a band of graceful ladies who above all were friends.
In no time they thought of Sabine Scheppner, a girl who started playing the bass guitar in the living room together with her boyfriend. Surprisingly, they managed to get Bine out of her cosy home straight into the noise of the new rehearsal room! The three girls started harum-scarum playing cover songs with none of them ever been in a real band. A drummer was still missing and they knew it would be hard to find a female drummer, but they couldn't accept a male one because of practising in the Frauen-Musik-Zentrum where boys aren't allowed to step across the threshold...
Vera, who studies fine arts, painted a nice flyer searching for a female drummer. One of those later hung in the Saal 2 - although Katrin wasn't quite sure whether or no she had really found the women's toilet... However, it seems as if she had succeeded: Cause one girl named Phyllis Schürger applied. She saw the flyer by accident while having a hangover-brunch and became interested as the flyer said: "also beginners!" She was a bit sceptical though, knowing that she had started practising the drums only 1 year ago.
But they were lucky: The big day of meeting the fourth band member arrived pretty soon. When Phyllis was approaching the FMZ, Katrin - who's quite shortsighted - just saw the vintage boots and thought: Ah, that must be Vera or Bine. But no! It was their new drummer who fitted so perfectly into the band! It just took some seconds to get on like a house on fire. So, it was clear they needn't search anymore...
Today, Clara Bow got professional support by the new Organist Doktor Ingrid Müller, thanks to the new found DrumMachine!

yo unser erstes von der presse gepriesenes werk "123...Stupidity" kannst du jetz in voller länge und für nix bei digitalkunstrasen.net runterladen. die VISIONS sagt:
"...Postrock
trifft Drum’n’Bass – gab es das schon mal? Kann das funktionieren?
Zumindest tut es das auf der "1 2 3…Stupidity" EP der Münsteraner
Band....Eine ausgefallene und erfrischende Stilmixtur wie man sie nicht
mal von Battles erwartet hätte...."
.....hier noch andere presse; "...Uptempo-Post-Rock
aka „guitardriven jungle/d’n’b“. Das trifft den Nagel so ziemlich genau
auf dem Kopf, klingen die drei doch in der Tat wie Radiohead auf einem
Breakbeat-Film." Uncle Sallys Demodesaster 10/09
"das
kommt wohl dabei heraus, wenn man ein paar talentierte musiker mit
unterschiedlichen einflüssen in einen proberaum sperrt und den
schlüssel wegwirft. sie machen einfach mal - und haben eine menge spaß
dabei. wir auch." roteraupe.de

Monkee Platez next offering is the 'Fulltilt EP' from Glasgow outfit Mr Hajika. Streetdate 14th November 4 slabs of groove driven tech house...
Fulltilt original is a chugging, bass heavy track with a subtle musicality that develops throughout. Dr. Bergers remix is a stripped down deeper edit, with an infectious flow that maintains the essence of the original. Similarly to Dr. Berger, Alex Fiction strips back the layers to uncover an electronic soul which builds into an intelligently emotive interpretation, if slightly twisted. Completing the package is 'Nitemoves' which shares the big sound of Fulltilt, but with a more progressive, melodic vibe."
