kc-pic-5Seit über 30 Jahren treten Kirlian Camera zusammen auf. Auf dem in dieser Woche beginnenden Dark Munich Festival werden sie ihren Electronic Rock darbieten. Wir freuen uns, dass sich Bandkopf Angelo die Zeit genommen hat, unsere Fragen zu beantworten:

Who is behind Kirlian Camera?
A Tiger and a Eagle, surrounded by lovely fighters.

If you had to put your music into a drawer and print a label on it, what would it say?
We’d say it’s basically electronic rock. Something having roots into pop music, but filled with real alien light. We don’t disdain experiments, anyway, and love to often change direction…

In May 2015 you will visit Munich for the Dark Munich Festival. What do you know about Munich and the Bavarian audience?
We expect them to be hot-blooded, as far as Bavaria is known to be! It will be such a perfect meeting!!!

Have you ever visited the Bavarian capital? And if so, what stuck in your memory? Which sights or attractions would you like to see or can you recommend to your colleagues and visitors of DMF?
We only can say that DMF is particularly well-organized and structured, more than other festivals. We already performed there, so we can confirm that the festival will be great and hugely appealing. No mawkishness in saying this. As for Munich in general, there’s nothing to say that people don’t know already. Munich is a nerve centre, as far as European culture is concerned. And… we really hope it keeps its European identity!

What can we expect from your gig at DMF?
Blood, sweat and … luminous joy! Strength, love, transmission, identity, sincerity. New Resistance music…

What will be next for you: Tour? Recording? Time off? Or rather something completely different?
We’re right now recording our first album as Division K-Pax with help from Covenant and other guests. Hopefully John Fryer (Dep. Mode, NIN, This Mortal Coil, etc), will take care of the final mixing (he’s today heading a brilliant new project called Muricidae). Division K-Pax is the future of Kirlian Camera. KC will keep on existing as for reissues, new singles and extemopre new material, but D-KPX will be taking care of creating “complete new albums”. We’re also working on the brand new chapter of SPECTRA*paris, this time being massively electronic music orientated, going to even caressing vintage electronica and effective “glam robotica”. Many concerts to do as well and a long North America tour at the end of the year, along with Canadian band Metric and Italian combo Spiritual Front, as far as we know, at least… Many more things we are working at: let’s see what’s going to happen…!!!

Thank you for the interview! Any final words you want to tell your fans in Bavaria?
Invincible. Be invincible and defend your real identity.
