Formed by Linda Wölfel and Pauline Boudry in Berlin drummer Inka Dewitz completed the female trio some years ago. The band is known for its very personal style, mixing pop melodies with sampled rhythms, and singing in a variety of languages such as French, English and Bulgarian. Guitar, bass, synthesizers, samplers and drums are all used to give a musical voice to their urban commentary on subculture, life, love and work. Protest lyrics and relaxing melodies sit comfortably next to one another and are showcased with the critical context of the songs; sex and gender, work and exploitation, sexism and capitalism. Comparisons to bands they have toured with such as the Slits or Le Tigre are easy to make but are in many ways inadequate as their discursive indie-pop-electroclash aesthetic marks Rhythm King & Her Friends out from the crowd and proves they have made their own totally original and unique template.
