The latter day’s eminent, prominent and decadent ladies: Katzenjammer. Drink dear rebels, and drink again. Katzenjammer’s musical underground cult is carried forward by the sound of instruments such as accordion, mandolin, guitar, piano, balalaika bass, glockenspiel, trumpet, kazoo, melodica, drums and banjo to just name some. They play these instruments with fire in their bellies, fever in their fingers and their hearts in their throats. And the vocals, the vocals of this band dear audience are the broad paint strokes on the colourful night sky where you dance your wildest dance in your finest clothes. Katzenjammer kick the clichés so hard in the stomach that they bend over, turn inside out and become new vessels for new people with old preferences. Our blessed friends are self-taught on the aforementioned instruments. Katzenjammer arrived in their cage a short while ago and are now shaking the bars in a creative and fertile clattering. The animal trainer has taken two steps back. Up to now the intense ladies have played songs by their compadre Mats Rybø in addition to their own and some co-written songs. Take off your skin and dance around in your bones. W.S. Burroughs
