		HEIDI MORTENSON [Berlin] Heidi Mortenson is a Berlin based One-Woman-Band playing concerts which offer a new aproach to a mix of electro computer queer rock asymetrical songs driven on beats and a full powered voice. In the beginnng Heidi was experimenting with recording herself singing inside a washing machine, rebuild a telephone receiver into a microphone, hooking up with a walkie-talkie system and more… The breaks are twisted and turned in between rhythms with bass lines and crisp cut up sound-patches making the pop genre crack. Add a mentalist flavor, a straight jacket and adrenalinetic energy. Live on stage heidi makes use of machines, effect-units, instruments, computer and special-built microphones. Heidi`s Website.

		RHYTHM KING AND HER FRIENDS [Berlin] Since 5 years now Pauline Boudry and Linda Wölfel [till 2004 as third member Sara John] are connecting ElectroPopPostpunk with Queer Politics in a special way. Different from many electronic bands besides voice, drummachine and synthezizer even guitars, bass+xylophon will be insertet live. Also videos have an important appearance. Partly self- production, partly result of different cooperations, they are not only illustration but produce their own level of discourse and stage act. We are disco! Band-Site.
