One For The Weekend: ONETWOTHREE

Here's Klaudia Schifferle's animated clip for "Give Paw" by ONETWOTHREE off their new album out digitally October 15.

Habibi vs. Kleenex

Habibi just shared their cover of Kleenex's "Nice" for Kill Rock Stars' 30th anniversary collection Stars Rock Kill. 

It's all about the bass for ONETWOTHREE feat. LiLiPuT's Klaudia Schifferle

ONETWOTHREE are bass bosses Klaudia Schifferle, Madlaina Peer & Sara Schär. Check out "Perfect Illusions" below.

Here's the scoop...

ONETWOTHREE is comprised of three bassists, all women who played in bands in the late 70s and 80s Swiss punk scene. Klaudia Schifferle of Kleenex (later LiLiPuT), Madlaina Peer of the Noknows and Sara Schär, the singer for the bands TNT and Souldawn and also bassist for The Kick.

ONETWOTHREE's first album – slated for release by Kill Rock Stars on October 15 – doesn't have a name but that's just as it should be for a band that's deceptively simple, mysterious and yet somehow familiar. Three women bassists/singers from classic Swiss post-punk bands dot their insistent, minimal music with drum patters, synths, chants, commands and joyous wordplay with their sometimes cynical, sometimes sensual take on leisure and consumer culture. The group is appropriately DIY, self-contained and self-produced - their debut was written and played almost entirely by themselves. ONETWOTHREE's songs blend into a whole, creating a momentum and their own kinetic, strange reality which fun-house mirrors our own.
