Sister Chain & Brother John

Looking like Victorian gentlefolk, wielding a distorted guitar and a tambourine, Sister Chain & Brother John relate stories of the wicked set and the lovelorn; of teenage daydreams and erotic nightmares, creating what can best be described as Parlour Punk or latter day chamber music.

On stage they present their powerful songs through a performance that borders on the theatrical, but also borrows from the trashier rock side of things. The band has their own way with music, but when listeners grasp for references they sometimes mention Klaus Nomi, Esther Ofarim, Bauhaus, The Sisters of Mercy, but also the Brecht and Kurt Weill cabaret and Lotte Lenya.

The Israeli/British duo formed in July 2005 and is based in Berlin. In the last six years they have played over 250 concerts in churches, on boats, on street corners in war zones as well as the usual nightclubs, festivals and concert halls. They released their debut album "Darkness to Warm Your Heart" in 2008 and have toured in Denmark, Norway, Germany, UK, The Czech Republic, Israel and more. The duo's second album "The Androgyne Show" will be released in 2011 on the Danish record label Sound Of Perpetual Astonishment (SOPA).
