Music composer  in bands 'SuperSonic Future' and 'Messer Fur Frau Muller'

Country. Blues. Noir.
DAN FAMILIAR performs as acoustic solo artist; taking old country, blues, the spirit of Poe and ETA Hoffmann and the ghostly echoes of 70s Punk to bring you unplugged nightmares!

People called it

"a mix of the late Johnny Cash, Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Billy Bragg and Shane McGowan (in the best possible way) with a distinctive voice".

"A dark-passionate singer-songwriter with punk roots"

"the aftermath of a drama, that repeats itself in many variations, each one as sad an hopelessly romantic as the last one."

"a punkrock balladeer"

“poet” (SZ Magazin)



„There‘s too much mainstream“ says Rob Razorblade, Guitarist, Songwriter and Mastermind behind THE RAZORBLADES. “Everybody listens to the same music, watches the same crap on TV and follows the latest social media trend. We prefer to do things our own way…that’s what Rock ’n Roll is all about, being different from the rest of the world.”

On the new record „New Songs For The Weird People“  THE RAZORBLADES do things their own way by melting Sixties-Surf-Twang, Punk energy, Rockabilly and 80s Underground-Rock into an explosive mixture. Giant waves of melody meet feedback noises and a nod to Glam Rock, New Wave, Ska and Powerpop. Rob says: “We love all the subculture styles – Punk Rockers, Rockabillies, Mods, Surfer guys, Skinheads and Gothics. We met tons of crazy people on tour in Europe and the USA, who organized gigs in a small town at the end of the world, just because they wanted to and believed in it. They keep their style alive and don’t do the stuff everybody else does. We dedicate the new record to these “Weird People”.

The album contains 17 new songs, full of High Speed-Rock& Roll, but you can also find traces of The Clash’s Punky Reggae, Californian Melodies, which would perfectly fit the next Tarantino movie and trashy, distorted drums. Guitarist Rob makes his debut as a lead singer on two tracks: „Rock’n Roll Jet Set“ is wild and crazy Rock’n Roll, while “Put On The Make Up Boys” pays tribute to the Cure from the early 80s. And how do you call this eclectic mix of styles? “Call it Surf Punk, Instrumental Punk Rock or whatever you like. After doing the band for 14 years and playing more than 600 shows, we don’t care too much. Our music is as colorful as our audience and we love Dick Dale as much as The Ramones, Lee Perry, Phil Spector and the Raveonettes“ says Rob.

Instead of getting a headache from thinking too much which label would fit their band, Rob, Ralph and Randy jump into the tour van and play every weekend in front of the chosen ones, crazy freaks who don’t bow to the beaten tracks of mainstream taste. “These people are the Rock’n Roll Jet Set for us, people, who keep their individuality and don’t think about commercial value all the time. Without them, we would be nothing!” Although they played shows in 15 concerts and released 6 albums, THE RAZORBLADES still don’t get support from a major label, management or a big booking agency: ”We do everything on our own, the label, the booking and all the driving. We have a network of cool venues, local promoters and likeminded bands and stay independent. This way we can survive as a band in today’s world. DIY rules!”

So from March 2016 on, THE RAZORBLADES will put their beat up guitars and suitcases in the van and hit the road again to play shows all over Europe….the “Weird People” of the world must hear the new songs!



"LET IT BURN" is a firework of a rock album, with which BONSAI KITTEN return in 2024. 
Do they want to burn everything down now? Not everything, but certainly the bridges to everything one thinks they know about this band from previous releases. Because the flames that BONSAI KITTEN ignite here seem to light their way. 
Passionate and impulsive, the band led by front woman Tiger Lilly Marleen rushes through a musical variety and virtuosity from metal to blues throughout the entire work, which with fluid transitions also recalls rock classics of the 70s and 80s. 
Rarely is an album produced today with such handmade and detail-oriented care as guitarist and producer Wally achieves here. The 10 songs shine with heat and dynamism, casting a lyrical light on holding onto what you burn for.
