My Interests |

Music:Member Since: 4/7/2006Band Website: katharinafranck.de Band Members: LIVE* Drums: Achim Faerber. Bass & Vocals: Hannes Huefken. Guitar & Vocals: Mathias Mauersberger. Trumpet & Vocals: Lukas Fröhlich MUSICIANS ON THE NEW ALBUM* Drums: Toby Dammit. Bass: Hannes Huefken. Guitars: Peter Weihe. Trumpet: Michael Merkelbach. Backing Vocals: The Vivian Girls. Influences: As a child, I listened to my parents' records: Billie Holiday, Bessie Smith, Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzie Gillespie, Thelonius Monk, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, but also Amalia Rodriguez, Maria Callas and Bach's Brandenburg Concertos. In Brazil, I learned my first chords with the songs of Chico Buarque and Tom Jobim, but there was also Rita Lee and Os Mutantes and some cheesy soap opera theme songs. Rynn (played by Jodie Foster in The Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane) was my Huckleberry Finn. At 15, I discovered Patti Smith's Horses. At the time, I kept up on my idol reading French music magazines. So I also read Rimbaud, Baudelaire, Celine and Isabelle Eberhardt. Telephone's Crache Ton Venin didn't pass me by. Nor did Joni Mitchell and Rickie Lee Jones. The Nuggets compilation by Lenny Kaye and Greg Shaw's "Bomp!" The books by Peter Guralnick and Greil Marcus. Motown. Moondog. Elvis. Sun Ra. Dennis Hopper's "Out of the Blue" blew me away. I named my band Rainbirds after an instrumental song by Tom Waits. I wrote songs about Jane Bowles and Carson McCullers. For Jeff Buckley a funeral march. From Bjoerk I have an autograph. I also have one from Hans Clarin. "Ach, wie ist das Putzen putzig..." by Pumuckel is the song I sing in the shower. I read Klabund and Friedrich Glauser. Fernando Pessoa and Antonio Lobo Antunes. Patricia Highsmith and Kinky Friedman. Haruki Murakami and Annie Proulx. I listen to Nina Simone and Helene Grimaud. Rechenzentrum and Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, Solomon Burke and Monotekktoni. Prince and Ustad Mawash, Cat Power and Anna Netrebko. And always the movies... And I found this in the newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung: Pop is driven by passion and longing, which doesn't adhere to any historical and societal norms. With this in mind, yours, kf Record Label: Skycap Records / Sans Soleil / Mute Type of Label: Indie |
