Those veteran Punk Rockers from
Bielefeld/Germany have recently
started to discover the blues.
Now they tend to mix riff rock
from the Stones to the Stooges
with the Blues roots of old
Mississippi masters like Howlin'
Wolf, and they play their songs
with the raw energy of young
´77 era Punks - hey, call that
"Stones-induced Punk Rock"
if you like!
The Band started in 1999 as a
studio/solo project of
ex-Notdurft/ClubX/Mindover Board
guitar slinger Bernd Hövelmeyer.
Between 1999 and 2003, he recorded
three full length albums (almost) by
himself, all of them released via
Neat Neat Records. In 2003, Bernd
felt the desire to perform his songs
live on stage, and so he formed the
Band “The Nymphomaniacs”, together
with some friends and ex-bandmates:
Gunnar Gliech (bass/harp)
[Die Schlimme Band],
Bernd Johnig (drums)
[Commandantes],
Andreas Hancock (guitar)
[Ex-Notdurft/Mindover Board].
The Nymphomaniacs are a real tight
live band who love to play their songs
with a real heartfelt passion
(Blues/Punk/Rock & Roll).
They reveal some fine cover versions
of The Rolling Stones ("Under my Thumb",
"Parachute Woman"); The Beatles
("Birthday", "Back in the USSR");
The Stooges ("Loose"); The Dead Boys
("Sonic Reducer") as well as Robert
Johnson's famous standard
“Me and the Devil”
Now in the spring of 2007, the
Nymphomaniacs have finally
released their very first studio
album, called “Eleven Sharp Cuts”.
In the aftermath of this sharp
move, of course, we can´t wait
to play tons of gigs, including
your home town, folks, and get
you rocking, bluesing in a downright
nymphomanic fashion - and
with the necessary passion to match.
So there: get in touch with
The Nymphomaniacs
NOW, RIGHT AWAY. So long…
Bielefelder Punks entdecken den Blues!
Sie vermengen den Riffrock der
Stones oder der Stooges mit dem
Blues eines Howlin' Wolf oder eines
Robert Johnson und spielen das
Ganze dann mit der Power einer
Punkrockband. Kombiniert mit
eigenen Ideen hört sich dieses
extrem schmutzig an.
Kurzum: Gnadenloser Garagensound!
Gestartet wurde die Band 1999
als reines Studio- und Soloprojekt
des Ex-Notdurft/Mind Over Board
Gitarristen Bernd Hövelmeyer.
Nach drei, fast im Alleingang
eingespielten Alben, entschied sich
Bernd aus diesem reinen Studioprojekt
eine Liveband entstehen zu lassen.
Verstärkung holte er sich durch
Bernd Johnig
(Commandantes),
Gunnar Gliech
(Die Schlimme Band)
und
Andreas Hancock
(Ex-Notdurft/Mind Over Board).
Alles Musiker mit jahrelanger
Band- und Bühnenerfahrung.
Die ersten Live-Gigs schlugen ein
wie eine Bombe! Eine Band die auf
der Bühne vollkommen überzeugt!
Unter anderem auch mit Coversongs
der Stones, Dead Boys und Stooges.
