The Chemnitz indie band Blond likes to offend. The trio will soon do the same at the Juicy Beats in Dortmund – with the new album “Perlen”.
With their own record company called Betonklunker, an (older) song called “Las Vegas Glamour”, bright stage clothes and a new album entitled “Perlen”, due out on April 21st, the band Blond seems to have a strong penchant for glitter. Singer and guitarist Nina Kummer, her sister and drummer Lotta and bassist and keyboardist Johann Bonitz know only too well that not everything in life is always sparkling. In their lyrics, the group addresses sexism, menstrual problems or depression, among other things – mostly bluntly and directly. “It’s our approach to annoy certain people a bit with the songs,” admits Nina frankly.
For example in the pre-single “Männer”, a collaboration with the Berlin rapper addeN. With lines like “We’re alone, where are all the other women? We didn’t spend hours in the rehearsal room for a cock party like that with pale pensioners,” Blond criticizes the masculine dominance at music festivals that has prevailed for decades. “You step on certain people’s toes with it,” says Lotta Kummer, her sister adds: “Many give us feedback that they think the song is important. But of course, in addition to the nice comments, there are also the old sayings like ‘I book according to taste and not gender.’ It’s just a topical issue, one that you can still get upset about, because there’s simply an imbalance. That’s why it’s good if some people are pissed off by the song.”
Blond criticize male dominance at festivals – and soon play at Rock Am Ring
In any case, once you’ve heard it, it’s hard to get it out of your head. With a fine pinch of irony German blond in the refrain to snappy indie rock the legendary line of the Weather Girls: “It’s raining men, hallelujah, it’s raining men”. An initial effect can be seen, at least in relation to Blond: In addition to an appearance at the “Juicy Beats” in Dortmund’s Westfalenpark, there are appointments at major music events such as the “Deichbrand” in Cuxhaven or the gigantic twin festivals “Rock am Ring” and “Rock im Park”. ‘ in the calendar before going on a club tour in November.
Apart from that, the Chemnitz trio around the siblings and their best friend from the sandbox days has already acquired a thick skin when it comes to nasty comments: “It happens to us relatively often because we’ve always had issues that offend. In the early years, it bothered some that we were two women and one blind man,” says Lotta Kummer.
