About Me


here is what the ever so lovely (however mysteriously vanished) polka dot dicso zine wrote about us in their final issue:
"mireia sings, rinus plays broken tunes and clumsy percussive fragments on cheap instruments, magnus plays broken tunes and clumsy percussive fragments on cheap instruments, too. they tried to cover serge gainsbourg's je t'aime once, but they failed." (we succeeded later on)
Furthermore, Rinus couldn't help to overhear the Uzbekistian Ambassador when he was at the release party of Claudia Schiffer's new Dub album:" We had red whine and carriages on our last wedding. A girl with a pencil sticking in her brain was writing a poem, and a trio sitting on the royal carpet was playing elephant cymbals and camel chimes. I cannot recall their name, which is a shame, because I would like to invite them to my country."
and this is what ralf said to us before our show at madame claude:
"ich liebe eure musik. für mich seid ihr berlin.

Music:

Member Since: 24/10/2007
Band Website: north of hermannplatz
Band Members: now that the ghost of christmas has let us go it's time to find a red velvet carpet again and have some wine before spring's first signs will bring new multicolored toy instruments, long forgotten flutes and, finally, a real ukulele. marinus, mireia, medea and magnus love you.
Influences: franco battiato, hertta lussu ässä, reynols, the shadow ring, die tödliche doris, fibo trespo, jean dubuffet, miquel noguera, fischli & weiss, tu madre, destroy all monsters, mattin, junko, selten gehörte musik/dieter roth, luxus, mu, the poetics, can't, the new peculiars these are names that fell out of mireia's and magnus' pockets one cold night in shiny golden october 2007. Rinus, however, cannot think of any real influences.
Sounds Like: junk shop toy instruments and cheap recording devices however, now that rinus has travelled so far we know two things: Topmodel sounds like 'we miss you.'But most of all it sounds like our birthdays.
Record Label: Self Made
