QUINTRON AND MISS PUSSYCAT (new orleans, usa)
The QUINTRON AND MISS PUSSYCAT experience is one of barely controlled electronic chaos, SWAMP TECH dance beats, small explosions, incredible clothes, and entertaining puppet stories. You can see them perform regularly at the Spellcaster Lodge in New Orleans, Louisiana or on one of their many tours around the world. This act somehow has equal relevance in sleazy nightclubs, pizza restaurants, and university lecture halls.
QUINTRON plays a type of music the press has dubbed "Swamp Tech" on a custom Hammond / Rhodes combo organ which has been built up to look like a classic muscle car with actual working headlights. All this organ noise is backed by irresistibly raw drum machine beats (think 8 bit Booty-Bounce chanelled thru the hands of a Troglodyte) and his own patented invention THE DRUM BUDDY - a rotating, light-activated analog synthesizer which is played much in the same way that a DJ spins and scratches records. Celebrity Drum Buddy owners include LAURIE ANDERSON and NELS CLINE of Wilco. Much of Quintron's music is driving, hypnotic Sixties dance music a'la the Seeds or Standells. However, don't mistake Quintron for being totally squaresville retro. He has benefited from 40 extra years of music history to develop his own richer style and borrowed from a number of other genres to become...well, Quintron. But he has faithfully retained that Sixties garage essence, a precarious balance between wholesomeness and worldliness that fell apart after the Summer of Love.
Quintron's permanent collaborator is none other than master puppeteer, MISS PUSSYCAT who plays maracas and sings, as well as entertaining all age groups with her highly amusing technicolor puppet shows. Hers are complex puppet shows beautifully crafted for success in intimate venues of late night rock and roll drinking and dancing: tactile, idiosyncratic puppet characters, pithy dialogue, electronically pixilated soundtracks, and charming black light effects create a visual and engaging overture/finale to Quintron and Miss Pussycat's music sets. Quintron aids in puppet manipulation and voicing. Miss Pussycat, in turn, sings lead and back-up with a steady maraca beat during Quintron's performances.



HERPES (berlin, germany)
Hard to say if the boys and girl in Herpes haven’t made their lives just one bit more difficult by choosing the name of that very nasty infectious disease as their bandname. But, being from Berlin - and a punkband from Berlin at that - they couldn’t really give a hoot about any kind of marketing or commercial-minded arguments/objections of any kind from anyone. And so: Herpes it is! After a first tour of Europe (France, Sweden, Germany etc. etc.) before they even had a record out and the subsequent release of club hit "Fette Muttis", Herpes are back with their first full-length release for Hamburg based indie label Tapete Records. "Das kommt vom Küssen" (translates roughly to: what you get from kissing) is punkrock with a very artschool twist, rather than the beerdrinking, riffrocking, fistfighting variety found too often in European clubs these days. Devo and Plastic Bertrand are just some likeminded artists that come to mind here.
Even before their first release the band from Berlin were invited to London/England to play the almost painfully hip Playground club. A knightly accolade for any continental European band for sure! Herpes will make you hysterical, Herpes is infectious (ooops...sorry), or as one Herpes fan very poetically wrote: "I love my Herpes!".
