Katie Smokers Wedding Party
The transformation Katie Smokers Wedding Party has undergone over the past few years is amazing. From a band that could be located in the broadest sense in the field of alternative, the Munich group has now opened up widely. Even though the line-up with electric guitar, bass, drums and the charismatic voice of Maryvonne Porwol remains the musical epicenter, saxophone and viola, electronics and toy instruments significantly expand the sound picture. But more important is the aesthetic change that characterizes the band's recent releases and concerts. Krautrock and free jazz have become important references, but also the brittle harshness of postpunk, the melodic bliss of powerpop. Anyone who attends a Katie Smokers Wedding Party concert today will not only experience a great live band, but also how, out of the opening of the musical horizon, a separate, boisterous and delightfully wild terrain opens up.
