Once upon a time, there was a lady who wanted to play guitar. But as it was too hard and her fingers hurt, she found something smaller and much more cute. Since her punkulele started to rock around Berlin’s bars, there come some “leute”crazy enough to join her dream of taking up the highs, to the brightest stars.
The band leader Victoria Priest started a new wave called “Punkulele” - a way through her own perception of underground music, containing humor and sarcasm along with some personal tragedy and catchy melodies. Dramatic and emotional piano playing based on her virtuosic classical skills is taking the punky sound of the band up into the level of progressive music, her singing with the touch of trance and characteristic emotionalism is moving the whole band to the psychedelic stage.
Julian’s bluesy guitar is rocking the solos, Pierre’s funky bass is bringing the lightness and almost a childish joy and Mika’s drumming is making a dancy-groovy vibe.
