Bio
(GB) The Cologne-based Band Lotus Feed was founded in 1995 and their cup of tea is the sound of New Wave and Post Punk originating from the eighties... not without giving their music it's very unique scent... Impelling basslines, atmospheric guitars carried by flanger and chorus sounds, a straightforward drumming and an emotional voice are the trademarks of this powerful and uncompromising sound that makes Lotus Feed remarkable. Most people wish to draw comparisons! Of course Lotus Feed haven't reinvented the wheel of New Wave and so fans of bands like „The Chameleons", „The Sound", „Psychedelic Furs" or „Comsat Angels", just to name a few examples will love their music! Many line-up changes have been responsible for the band's status of being only known local and despite of their potential had to break down several barriers... Things changed in summer of 2009 when bassist Lars Tellmann and guitarist Marten Bijkerk joined Lotus Feed. Since that time the band became finally completed with founding members Alexander Landsberg (vocals) and David Sielaff (drums); now the band was united and everything started to work automatically... During this period of time the band's history of 15 years has been worked off and in the end a distillate arose out of their common musical preferences, attitude and the strong desire to present Lotus Feed matured! (D) Die Kölner Band Lotus Feed wurde 1995 gegründet und hat sich ganz dem New Wave- und Post-Punk-Sound der 80er-Jahre verschrieben...jedoch nicht ohne der Musik ihren ganz eigenen Stempel aufzudrücken... Treibende Basslinien, Chorus-/Flanger-lastige Gitarren, ein schnörkelloses Drumming und eine emotionsgeladene Stimme machen den druckvollen und kompromisslosen Sound von Lotus Feed aus. Die meisten Leute möchten gerne Vergleiche ziehen! Lotus Feed haben das Rad des New Wave sicher nicht neu erfunden und so werden sich Fans von szenerelevanten Bands wie „The Chameleons", „The Sound", „Psychedelic Furs" oder „Comsat Angels", um nur einige Beispiele zu nennen, sich musikalisch gut bedient wissen! Zahlreiche Besetzungswechsel haben bis 2009 dazu geführt, dass die Band nur ein lokales Nischendasein gefristet hat und trotz ihres Potenzials immer wieder neue Hürden nehmen musste, um auf ihrem Weg voranzukommen... Dies hat sich jedoch vor anderthalb Jahren geändert, als Bassist Lars Tellmann und Gitarrist Marten Bijkerk zu Lotus Feed stießen und seitdem mit den beiden Gründungsmitgliedern Alexander Landsberg (Gesang) und David Sielaff (Schlagzeug) endlich zu einer Einheit fanden, in der sich von nun an alles fast wie von selbst ergab... In dieser Zeit wurde eine 15-jährige Bandgeschichte aufgearbeitet, vieles auf den Punkt gebracht und letztendlich enstand ein Destillat aus gemeinsamen musikalischen Vorlieben, Attitüden und dem Wunsch, Lotus Feed nun gereift zu präsentieren. -
