Stereo Total

Stereo Total is a female/male French/German duo based in Berlin. The band exists since the mid-90's and have released at least 8 albums: Oh Ah, Monokini, Juke-Box Alarm, My Melody, Musique Automatique, Do the Bambi, Discotheque and Paris-Berlin. Francoise Cactus plays drums and sings, Brezel Gring plays organ, Trautonium (a German synthesizer from the 20ies), a self-made guitar and a lot of strange electronic instruments.
They like to play music, and they like to play with music. They mix different styles. She is more inspired by French chanson and Rock n Roll, he by the robotic New-Wave sounds from German Krautrock. The result is a kind of a chaotic melodic crazy underground pop-music.
Francoise Cactus loves to sing in different languages: French, German, English, Spanish, Italian, Turkish and Japanese. For the US-tour planned in March/April 09, KRS brings out a tour-single called Anti Love Song with four songs in English language (with French accent).
On the cover, there is a crochet-portrait of Courtney Love (she can be recognized by the crochet syringe and dollar note) made by Cactus. Courtney Wool is part of a series of woolen portraits of female musicians exposed actually at Gallery Crystal Ball in Berlin.
"Anti-Love-Song" (a Betty Davis cover-version), "I hate everybody in the discotheque", "No Tututu.. What's going on? So much hate and anger in the music of Stereo Total! At least Brezel Gring comes up with something positive when he sings: "I wanna be a mama, I wanna have a baby, I want to play with him and exploit him well.... (The original version - in Spanish was composed by movie director Almodvar.)
On the new Anti Love Song-EP, the band is not leaving its musical territory of low bit sampling, Casio-tones, Rockabilly-drumming and disco songs with the length of short punk songs.
Stereo Total have a bunch of friends in the USA and are really happy to come visiting them soon. Anyway, they are globetrotters and permanently on tour since years. With their music, they try to build down frontiers, stylistic, linguistic, geographical??? Their fan-community all over the world shows them that everybody is special, but also that there are analogies between people having the same taste and the same aspirations, no matter where they come from.
They are fans from bizarre arts and experimental movies. Without knowing them in person, they invited Leslie and the LYS to play with them on the tour, because they are real admirers.
Stereo Total is not what you would call a serious band. They are not making music because they are too greedy to pay for a psychologist. They think that humor is a soft weapon, which can change a lot! But this is not a universal recipe: Complete luck of humor can change a lot too.
