Kamikaze Queens
Berlin-based punk cabaret band
As an International Berliner band who sprung out of the ashes of Sin City and survived in it´s Capital, the new Soulful Garage 45' single out on Sounds of Subterrania, 'Don't look Back/ I Wanna Know You'(2007) is the sound of Kamikaze Queens breaking through their own devices. A raucous, rockin, sweet smellin,' 100% unbending creative force at the top of their own game fit for any dance floor. Theirs is a self-made, unconventional idealism - in music, vision and compassion. They create their own, personalized atmosphere with bigger & dirtier bass and guitars, alongside the deep drumming and commanding vocals, all in all best described as "Punk Cabaret From Honky Tonk Hell." It´s an eclectic mix of Spooky Punk Cabaret Songs, Soulful Garage numbers & Dirty Rockabilly riffs that tickle your Detroit Cobra or Dead Kennedy and could only result from the unity of 3 Americans, 2 Germans, and an Italian in Berlin. From the first second, the Kamikaze Queens are a colossal, talented, gutsy-rock thriller, a deep-seated, confident, bold band, like a rock and roll bullet for the twenty-first century. Like the film noir damsels of the 20's, petulant, sexual and ambiguous, so are the 2 front women, Trinity and Mad Kate, naturally vivacious, visceral, and insanely energized. Back them up with Tex Morton (Mad Sin, Sunny Domestozs, Nitro 17) on Screaming Twang Bomb Guitar, Luscious Lloyd (Sin City Circus Ladies) on on Slap bass and Nico Lipps on Drums you have a sound like a suicide pilot dive bombing your rock and roll senses.
