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!

Normalerweise basteln sie Beats für Künstler wie Mobb Deep, Ghostface Killah oder 50 Cent, am 10.07.09 tun sie es auch für euch. Die zwei Revolutionäre des "Live- Produzierens "sind zu Gast im Dot Club im Herzen Berlins. DJ Exile und DJ DAY aus Kalifornien/USA rücken an mit 2 MPCs und 2 Plattenspielern, bearbeiten alte Klassiker und entwickeln die Hits von Morgen. Jeder Song fließt, wie bei einem DJ Set ineinander. So etwas gab es zuvor noch nie in der in der Bundes- Rapublik!
Unterstützt werden die beiden von den DJs Ghanaian Stallion und DJ Skare, die für den gewohnt guten Sound auf den "Everything Remains Raw" Veranstaltungen sorgen. Das ganze fungiert als Auftakt für die neue Veranstaltungsreihe YOYO EFFECT, die dann an jedem 2. Freitag im Dot Club stattfinden wird. Der YOYO EFFECT bringt euch wie beim gewichtsbedingten „Jo-Jo-Effekt“ die guten Hip Hop Parties zurück- die Diät ist also dahin und es gibt die volle Packung. Zu jedem Termin werden unterschiedliche Bereiche der urbanen Szene "Hip Hop" beleuchtet, diesmal sind es die Produzenten und beim nächsten Mal?
