   About COUCHGRASS
Couchgrass began with Amy and Claire's wild fantasies about being in a rock band and filling stadium after stadium. Yeah, you're right, boring biographies and stadiumrock are for those who think they need a new luxembourgish flag!
Fasten your seatbelts, the Couchgrass time machine brings us to THIS moment: five years, many line-up changes and about 70 gigs later, the band members still sweat the Couchgrass-juice like there was no tomorrow. Take Elastica, only louder (LOUDER!), sprinkle it with some early Pj Harvey, let 'it' mate with the semi-orphaned, impossible child of Stephen Malkmus and Ian Curtis and and and....don't forget to sh-sh-shake it baby!
Can you dig it?

Facts?


Until now, Couchgrass released 1 demo, 2 albums and played about 70 gigs in and around Luxembourg, at festivals like Suikkerrock, Wardin Rock, Eurosonic, Rock um Knuedler, etc. There were gigs with bands like Fabulous Disaster, Girls In Hawaii, Zita Swoon, Arno, Hollywood Pornstars, Malibu Stacy, Lord Bishop Rocks, Placebo, Franz Ferdinand, Mando Diao, IamX, etc.

Reviews?


Motel Love is 45 minutes of the most daring rock music a Luxembourgish band has ever written. Period.

5. Parmi les nouveaux groupes belges, quels sont, selon toi, les trois meilleurs et pourquoi ? J’ai vu Couchgrass en concert au DNA, ce samedi, et c’était plus que plaisant. J’irais même jusqu’à dire que ça faisait longtemps que je n'avais plus ressenti une telle atmosphère rock’n’roll et de débauche dans une salle de concerts (ou dans un bar, en l'occurrence). Si vous ne les connaissez pas, imaginez un garage-rock crade, empestant le Jack Daniel’s, des mélodies puissantes à la Sleater Kinney meets the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, une batterie hyper lourde et une chanteuse complètement déjantée qui hurle et s'excite comme une malade sur un petit Korg. Tout cela se termine dans un enivrant tourbillon de guitares qui forment un mur du son shoegazer, et on applaudit bien fort. Pour moi, ils ont tout ce qui fait défaut à bon nombre de groupes belges actuels : une attitude, une énergie électrisante qui part de la scène et enflamme le public, une absence totale de formatage et, surtout, ce brin de folie trop rare de nos jours. Je proclame donc Couchgrass mon groupe belge préféré du moment, et je ne manquerai pas d’en reparler sur Pop-Rock.

www.pop-rock.com


Porté par la très charismatique Amandine Klee, chanteuse, bassiste, guitariste et frontwoman déconneuse (qui fait un peu «chick on speed»), Couchgrass se situe quelque part entre Sonic Youth et PJ Harvey (dont ils reprennent d'ailleurs une belle version de She-na gig), tendance grunge. Avec eux, on se souvient ce que le fameux «smells like teen spirit» de Kurt Cobain pouvait vouloir dire. Outre le fait que cela déménage bien en live - déluge de riffs de guitare, instruments atypiques comme le violoncelle ou un petit xylophone -, Couchgrass a certainement comme point fort une incroyable présence sur scène: ses membres ne se prennent pas trop au sérieux. Leurs guitares sont parfois hésitantes, parfois agressives, la basse bien binaire, la voix d'Amandine Klee riche en nuances. Leurs textes disent la quête de l'amour et les perversions de la société de consommation, l'inceste, le trafic d'êtres humains... À suivre de très près.

Josée Hansen, d'Land


Couchgrass est devenu, en l’espace de quelques années, ce qui est convenu d’appeler une valeur sûre (dis papa, c’est quoi une valeur sûre?) dans le paysage pop-rock du Luxembourg.(...)
Groupe mixte, Couchgrass nous livre un son influencé par le rock alternatif anglo-saxon des années 1990 tel que Hole période Live through this (une des égéries que la chanteuse a dû beaucoup écouter), L7, Magnapop ou d’autres chevilles ouvrières de la charnière grunge, le tout mâtiné de quelques incursions stoner.

David André, d'Land (www.land.lu)


Dass die nationale "Mädchen-Combo" Couchgrass um den Weltfrauentag ein neues Album rausbringt, könnte fast wie geplant wirken. Ist es aber nicht, und selbst wenn: Die Mädels und Jungs haben viel mehr zu bieten als emanzipatorische Schreikrämpfe. King Camden Took a Brush and Drowned his Hair in Gasoline ist ein vielschichtiges zweites Album geworden, auf dem man straighten Rock mit gelegentlichen Disco-Beats, Ausflügen in die Welt des Piano-Jazz und andere Eskapaden entdecken kann.

Luc Caregari, Woxx (www.woxx.lu)

Hello!

It seems a lot of people are leaving Myspace so I've set up a bunch of other music-based profiles... if you want to keep track of what I'm up to you can follow me or fan me or whatever it is those sites encourage. Come and say hi!

I'll still be here too of course, if this is your social networking venue of preference.

Hello. Please do delete this comment if you so wish.

We're just making sure that everyone knows that our debut album 'Horses For Courses' is available to buy from our little record label's online shop:

http://www.donttellclare.co.uk/shop.htm

Its been selling faster than we expected, and we currently only have around a quarter of our stock left - so we thought we'd better you all know that if you want a copy then now would be a good time to pick one up! If you buy it from the link above then you're buying it direct from us, the label aren't taking a cut - so its a bit like Fair Trade for struggling musicians.

International mail-order is available, just follow the instructions.

Thank you very much, and sorry for making a mess of your profile. If its any kind of consolation, we don't have a MySpace bot, so I'm leaving these comments the old fashioned way. Three -and-a-half thousand of them. My life is so exciting.

Lots of love
Das Wanderlust
