Katzenjammer Cabaret was a French musical group. The band itself described their music as "Death Rock Cabaret" and "Multireferential Post-Punk".

history

Musically inspired by old post punk and Gothic rock bands such as Bauhaus , Christian Death or Siouxsie and the Banshees , the Katzenjammer Kabarett formation was founded in 2004 . Altogether, musically to be assigned to Death Rock , the band broke conventional genre boundaries through the active use of stylistic devices from post-punk , cabaret borrowings, classical music and electronic elements. Aesthetically , Katzenjammer cabaret was mainly based on the German cabaret of the Weimar Republic. Further stylistic influences resulted from Dadaism , Futurism and Symbolism.

Although a French group that also played with German names, the lyrics, performed by singer Mary Complicated, were all in English. After an EP, the self-titled debut album followed in 2006. Critical praise and festival appearances were the result, for example at the Wave-Gotik-Treffen 2006 or the Amphi Festival 2007. The band played several times as opening act for the related Dresden Dolls . In January 2009 the group released their second album, entitled Grand Guignol & Variétés . In 2010 the music group disbanded.

Katzkab

After the end of Katzenjammer Kabarett, the two members Klischee and Mr. Guillotine founded the band Katzkab in 2011 , which musically continues the line of the previous group in part, but relies more on Electropunk and Electroclash . In 2012 a self-titled EP was released and in 2013 the debut album Objet No. 1 . This was followed in 2015 by the EP Objet No.2 .
