»Ein gänzlich anderes musikalisches Universum« (rbb radioeins)
„Feline & Strange wowed the crowd from their very first note… Some of the most interesting music I’ve heard in the States in quite some time.“ (The Aquarian, New Jersey/USA)
(English: below!) Opernchanteuse Feline Lang und Punkcellist Christoph Klemke haben seit 2011 vergeblich versucht, ihren Heimatplaneten zu erreichen. Jetzt ist der Spaß vorbei: Düsterer und wütender kehrt das Electro Wave Cabaret von Expeditionen in Übersee zurück nach Berlin, im Gepäck Klavier, Cello, Computer, industrial Percussion und ihr 5. Album OUT: gefördert von Musicboard, Goetheinstitut und Initiative Musik, wieder mit Brian Viglione an den Drums. Die anarchische Multimediamusiktheathershow zum Album: Dystopisch, theatralisch, verstörend, überbordend, stilistisch gespannt von METROPOLIS bis BLADE RUNNER. Aber Käpt´n Feline und ihr Maschinist Chief Strange rocken auch kleinere Bühnen oder akustisch. Erst recht, seit sie 2018 Punk-Drummerin Rah Fookinhell ans Steuer des Raumschiffs gesetzt haben.
The new album – full stream, story, official videos, live videos – STILL ON EARTH?! tour 2018
Aktuell: Collaboration project with British Symphonic Punk act birdeatsbaby
AVAILABLE AS:
FULL BAND SHOW – voc, p, synth, cello, drums – visuals and choreo
ACOUSTIC SET – voc, p, cello, optional drums
SOLO SHOW – voc, synth OR voc, piano
Capt’n Feline and Chief Strange have been trying to contact their home planet since 2011 – to no avail, the aid of the fold-up cello, the synthetic piano, the ship’s computer, stuff to bang on, and Feline’s interstellar, opera-trained voice nonwithstanding. Now, they get angry. Darker and scarier they return from their travels all across Europe (even UK) and the U.S., and bring their Electro Wave Cabaret from Berlin directly in your face. And a brand new 5th album: OUT (feat. Brian Viglione). The theatrical multimedia show is an overwhelming cyberpunk dystopy, stylistically between METROPOLIS and BLADE RUNNER. But Capt´n Feline and Chief Strange also rock smaller stages and acoustic venues and theatres. Especially now they put punk drummess Rah Fookinhell at the helms of their spaceship.
„der derzeitige Underground-Hit“ (Leipziger Volkszeitung)
„Evidently, the pair have created their own patch of real estate within the musical world, which only they occupy. How many artists can claim this?“ (Hear me Raw UK)
