The music of the band Tunes for the takin' can be described as psychedelic pop, influenced by new-wave. It's rounded off by the female voice of Catherine Klier. All members like good pop-songs, but the music is without any compromise to commercialism (we think...;o)...) Other styles that have
been mixed in are country, 80's-rock, jungle, alternative, ambient and many others...
The band Tunes for the takin' was originally founded in April '96 by Klaus Michel (guit), Achim Wendling (dr), Dirk Bleisinger (bass). In summer '96 Catherine Klier (voc) joined the band. Three weeks after that, the first EP "Little Desires" was recorded. Pablo Lachmann (bass) joined in December '97.
After the winning of a local contest and after playing about 30 appearances, the Longplayer-CD "Naked-Jealousy" was recorded.At the same time another contest hosted by SWF3 (national radio station) was won. After that we played as support for BAP (German rock-band from Cologne), Fools Garden and Bell, Book & Candle.
In February '98 the EP "La narration du film et la chanson de Noel" was released. In spring and summer '98 we played some club appearances and some Open Airs, with Blues Brothers 2000, Alan Parson Live Project, Brings (Rock from Cologne-once again!) and Cardiacs (from GB). A 7-Track EP, called "Birds and Aeroplanes" has been recorded, it contains songs of The Neville Brothers, Led Zeppelin, Tom Waits, Ron Sexsmith and David Bowie transformed into our own style. It was released September '98. In June '99 Marco Steffen took the place of Achim Wendling on the drums. Right now we're planning to do some live appearances and to record a new album in spring 2000.
