About Me

clara luzia was brought to life in november 2005, and has been fostered and raised ever since.****clara luzia is the solo project of former "alalie lilt" singer clara. after six years with the band she wanted to strip her music down to something more fragile and imperfect. her new fellow musicians include alexander nefzger ..s, accordion, glockenspiel and whatever he is able to get a hold of, mika vember, whose voice as well as her beer drinking skills match perfectly with clara's, manfred - our eager beaver - on bass, heidi - the lone defender of a drugfree lifestyle - ..o, and ines - the incarnation of still waters run deep - on drums. for detailed information please visit their webiste .
