Katzenjammer

[jabumbo]

so i just started listening to this group, and i'm really getting into them. does anyone else know about em or anything? i came across a blog with this snippet of a bio:

About Katzenjammer Ladies and gentlemen allow me to introduce the queens of sultry noise, the sisters of mercy, the saints of damaged souls, high society’s hangover and the hen night for Calamity Jane. The latter day’s eminent, prominent and decadent ladies: Katzenjammer. Drink dear rebels, and drink again. Katzenjammer’s musical underground cult is carried forward by the sound of instruments such as accordion, mandolin, guitar, piano, balalaika bass, glockenspiel, trumpet, kazoo, melodica, drums and banjo to just name some. They play these instruments with fire in their bellies, fever in their fingers and their hearts in their throats. And the vocals, the vocals of this band dear audience are the broad paint strokes on the colourful night sky where you dance your wildest dance in your finest clothes.


here's a link to the catchy tune called "a bar in amsterdam" (http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/11/4/2173776/02%20a%20bar%20in%20amsterdam.mp3)

I thought this was about the song. Can we talk about the song? It's a fun song, but maybe not enough for it's own thread.

Although...
accordion, mandolin, guitar, piano, balalaika bass, glockenspiel, trumpet, kazoo, melodica, drums and banjo
sounds pretty damn awesome.

that same blag i got the stuff from had another tune of theirs. it was pretty catchy as well, but lacked the horns from the other one that really made it fun. still though, i really enjoyed it. i'd like to hear more of their stuff if i could get a hold of it.
