About Me
I edited my profile with the power of god. Look into it. We are a band with roots in Copenhagen- Denmark.
The band started in about 2004; now there’s only one original band member left, in the new band Ruffle my Waffle.
We find it rather impossible to put a genre to our music (help?); we’ve tried, unsuccessfully, to find other bands that would sound like us. RmW is a mixture of acid/psychedelic rock and childish punk, with alternative and very crooked/twisted tones, which a music teacher probably would rip his/her hair out for hearing, and hit our heads for playing.In the band, we have our thunderous/crashing, amusing, i-can-do-anything Nico, which in her role as our drummer lifts the band charismatically, and her feminist undertone (!?) plays a role in her performance.
In the role of the bassist, we have Iero ... which is short for .. AMELIA. The newest member of the band with great ideas and positive influence. The most impressing thing, which we unfortunately use too much of our rehearsal with, is her talent for speaking backwards! And all the other freak things she does..like lick her elbow, make her elbows meet behind her back, talk about her psycho parents (not necessarily from her, but OUR point of view!) talk about her man chauvinism, etc .. she’s a one(wo)man freakshow.
1st Guitarist (Noise and ground tone) We have Safløh, who usually gives a very entertaining face-expression-show while concentrating hard on her guitar. With a stolen monkey wrench in her hand and a pick taped to her thumb, she plays in a good rhythm and holds the pulse steady…while the monkey wrench lies there.. threatening and waiting.
As the front singer and 2nd guitarist (Noise and twisted reverberations), we have Kitling, with the most fantastic Kathleen Hanna/Karen O/Poly Styrene/Amanda Palmer sort of accent voice. Screams loud, flies high, dives deep, and can anything make the softest angel voice to a dynamic and powerful sound. Her melodies are unique and there is put new life to any song, no matter if Amelia or Safløh had something completely else in mind when they wrote it.
All this and with the bands humor, weirdness & wickedness, materializes a bizarre mixture (and in our own minds, GREAT), which can’t be compared.
We started writing our music in 2005, early spring. In the end of 2004, Kitling joined Safløhs band as the vocalist, which contained another drummer, bassist, and 2nd guitarist. Soon the drummer and the 2nd guitarist dropped out because it was getting too serious. Come spring, we found a new drummer, Nico, and we gave up finding a new guitarist before we started, so Kitling had to grab her guitar. Half a year later, the old bassist decided to quit, and in October, kitling found a new bassist in her school. Amelia; she usually played guitar but she was very interested, so she joined us. She came up with the weirdest band names, but Ruffle my Waffle was the one that made us laugh the most.
We played our first concert in November 2005, the next in march 2006 (pictures .. the ones with the colored lights). A day in May, we were playing a concert. Suddenly we found out, it was a contest! So we thougt: oh well.. never mind, well just do it for fun as usual. We’re not gonna win this the first time anyway- and not when Kitling has a sore throat! But, we thought WRONG. We actually won. We did a couple of small gigs..the fifth one was in September 2006. (Pictures, the other ones on stage). That was our last concert before the break. Don’t worry, we’re starting again in 2007, but Nico went to a sort of boarding school and Kitling went to Ecuador, to study music/basic classic guitar.
So.. heads up for 2007. We’re better at shows than in the studio.
See you at the show!
