Right! Our first album was made after fourteen days of rehearsal. The album has been cheered for itscharacteristic and fine unpretentious sound; criticized for its production and cover, but still WESTERN SOUL wasour first album, and we think it worked very well.
Today Bonk consist of four core members. Since the first album we have had gigs in Europe, USA and China, andspent time making the second album, Bonk Against Nothing, which will be release in the states in November 2006.
The new album is recorded by Anders Møller (Turbonegro, Euroboys, Silver, Paperboys) and mixed by Ulf Holand (A-Ha, Turbonegro, Gluecifer, Motorpsycho ++) In addition to our eleven favorite tracks, follows a live video fromthe Midi fest in Bejing. Don’t miss it! The Chinese audience came across as fantastic and they didn’t lack theenthusiasm of a 60’s rock audience. Looking forward to further adventures!
Since the last release, we have travelled quite a lot. Amongst others we have toured with Gluecifer, as earliermentioned played at the Midi fest and been gigging at film studios in Shang Hai. We have also had the time tovisit Texas and New York. On our travels we have met all sorts of people with or without hair, with or withoutany memory. We have also had the opportunity to meet a great mask maker with a descent record collection and somedodgy eating habits, we got fans all over the world, and many have tried to pigeonhole Bonk; we can mentiondefinitions as a rock band, onomatopoetikon, art collaboration and activities of a sexual character. Is it rightto describe Bonk as a streamlined uniformed band with equal opinions? Well? None of the band members will findthemselves comfortable in a definition as such. In New York someone claimed that they came across as a Motorcycleband. Wrong again? Bonk is a collaboration of individuals as different as our tunes, and we seldom agree hundredpercent, still we are friends. The secret is that we never look back. Along the way it has been good and lessgood ideas, but that is far gone. Forget and regret, our focus is on the future, and BONK AGAINST NOTHING isavailable in the mean time. So long goodbye!
