Kate Clover - EU Tour 26 + Support : KÜKEN (HH)

Kate Clover is a songwriter and musician from Los Angeles, California. From the local lineage of bands like X, Germs, and The Gun Club, to the glamorous destitution of the downtown streets, Clover is inspired by the city that raised her, exploring the intricacies of self-discovery, self-creation, and self-preservation in the place where dreams are born to die. With the live-wire energy and crackling force of defiant fists raised in the air, Clover’s music is the rallying cry of a natural born killer. Clover cuts an electric figure--a next-gen underground hero for the would-be believers.

With Patti Smith and Iggy Pop as her artistic North Stars, Clover mastered three chords and defected to art school, where she learned to play “Chinese Rocks” by Johnny Thunders and wrote her first song. She cut her teeth playing in various projects but was determined to go solo, seeking independence and total control.

From the mean streets of Hamburg-St.Pauli, Küken creates a Killed-By-Death Punk wall of sound. Fronted by Ex-KIDNAPPERS, Küken does not mess around. Double-Twin vocals all the time, all songs under 2 minutes, no breaks. Think of DEAD BOYS and REATARDS mixed with CCR. PITCHFORK: "This is well-written, tightly performed rock'n'roll at its most efficient. On each song, they establish a strong hook over two minutes, and then they're done."

fasterandlouderblog.blogspot.de: “...the band's m.o. is clearly to come out and hit you in the mouth over and over and over again. There's really no variation from the last album except that this set of songs is even stronger and discernibly darker. Knowing fully well that the simplest songs are usually the hardest to write, I really commend the twins for their perfection of the punk rock form. They are true believers in short songs using the bare minimum of chords. And they've just made their best album in over a decade…”
