About Me

hello & welcome to WINDELHOSEN'S MYSPACE. WE'RE REALLY REALLY GLAD YOU CAME!we are musicians and DJs. we have existed as windelhosen since 2006. we have existed as humans since 1975, a fine year...we have a lot of love and hatred for the right people. we believe in the redemptive power of melancholy chords and the silver power of synthesisers. we really like things clean, like osbourne ruddock. beth ditto should do a cover of 'don't go' by yazoo. dolly parton should adopt us. we are excited, driven and influenced by hitchcock psychedelia & feeling, lynch sensuality, sexuality & plain terror, jacques tourneur and his magical atmospheres; dancing like you wanna, style & angle, tears, laughter, people who respond, getting over-excited, lovely hair (cuts), the preservation of good things once we find them, the sound of the snare drum, fear of heights, manners, colour, 70s carpets, tour de france, cycling in velodromes, being safe, solitude & loneliness and how to handle them, desperation & despair and how to handle them, sadness, melancholy and need, the power and importance of animals, romance, dream-states, disasters, zombie films, dub and bleep techno basslines, 'call it techno' by frankie bones, the greatest tune ever written, seaside architecture (especially piers) and finding the place. here are some videos/tunes/pictures we have done/taken/that we like. check 'em owt
