D.K.DENT expensive and good? Awesome bandname! Retro-electro-pop live
at the Spandau. Smells like Hip Teens.

Slodka dekadencja Wywodzacy sie z Armageddon Dildos Dirk Krause pracuje nad plyta nowego projektu Dkdent, wktrym oprcz niego znalazla sie jeszcze wokalistka, ktrej nazwiska pki co nie ujawniono. Duet gra juz koncerty, a na jego stronie (http://www.dkdent.net) mozna odsluchac pierwszych piec nagran. Okazuje sie, ze jest so sympatyczny i jakos malo dekadencki future-pop.

D.K.DENT, high-class electro-pop... HNA, Hannover

...Dirk Krause turns the knobs and Stephanie Baudler adds grand-naive vocals. On stage they realize this fragile electronic pop with an accordion and organs... Kulturnews Hannover

...they combined keyboards und live vocals, mixed archaic- analoge and electronics and were not afraid to add an accordion or an electronic melodica. The two present chansons and rock, their gig rather resembling a relishingly staged cinematic performance than a solid club concert. TAZ, Hamburg

...awesome electronic pop to shake your heinie... Prinz, Hamburg

...To say that they make synthpop is to put far too constricted limits on their music. To say that DKDENT make unusually talented charming popmusic is more accurate.... Spraydio, Stockholm, Sweden
