Holland's
premiere girl fronted punk band
and
their first American release.
Here
we go!
What does Bambix sound like? Imagine melody, kick ass sweat and
a great female voice getting mixed into an intensive, sometimes
sweet, mostly heavy mix-up of punk rock hardcore with a spoonful
of metal. A combination of a medicine no doctor would ever give
you. This is the culmination of the sound that Bambix has mastered
so well throughout the years. Imagine lyrics about what the world
should be like and never is. How people feel their asses are on
fire but they can't find water anywhere. How you wanna
bang speed 24 hours a day but don't have the time. Imagine a band
that plays so tight the string in yr bum will snap.
So
who's who?
Peter Dragt: drums
Wick Bambix: vocals, guitar
Patrick Turner: bass
Who?
Wick Bambix found her mates in the dark rooms of punk rock in
Nijmegen, the Netherlands. As a founder of Bambix, she is world-wide
known for a voice that gives you gooseflesh, cuz she's for real,
intense. Her playing? Sometimes Malmsteen, mostly Bambix. Peter
Dragt, a splendid drummer derived from the gutters of speed-metal,
Slayer-adept. Sweeping his butt when melody comes in. And glad
when melody turns into speed. Patrick Turner, bass-player since
birth. Italian fortune-seeker. German in a way. His haircut is
a mix between Sid Vicious and Lou Ferigno.
Where? What?
Bambix have been playin before Green Day got cool. They played
Brasil 3 times and are proud to be real rockstars there with MTV
coverage for over 30 million people. Can say they are real friends
with cool bands. Played big festivals, like Deconstruction, Dynamo,
Valkhof, Earect, Rostock and minor toilets like the one at the
Bijstand. Been around Europe many times. Were the first band to
play former Yugoslavia after the war. For their latest release:
"What's In A Name" Bambix got 8 to 10 points out of
10 for reviews in cool magazines like OX (D), Visions (D), Aardschok
(NL), Rock Brigade (Brasil), Plastic Bomb (D). What's In A Name
will be released by Daemon Records in Oct. 2004 in the US and
Canada. Played and toured with bands like Bad Religion, Terrorgruppe,
Fabulous Disaster, GBH, Good Riddance, Ataris, Sepultura, Pennywise,
Snuff, Snapcase, Jawbreaker, Fugazi and many others. Had the opportunity
too to play support for BonJovi, but finally they weren't asked
for it. Each year they play some 150 shows, with tours all around
the world. Toured the Westcoast of the USA in october 2003, toured
Germany and the UK early 2004 and have currently finished recording
their 5th record, 'Club Matuchek', which will be released on Go-Kart
Europe on september 18 2004.
Check em out. Man, do they kick ass!
