Part 2: Burnout Fever
Tyre marks
Nicole:
"Born in San Francisco during an earthquake. Raised in Albuquerque (New Mexico) in the middle of nowhere… in the mountains. High School in Albuquerque. Then Austin Texas: Bar tender, waitress life for a year and started a band with some girls. Met another band called the Golden Showers at my doorstep who were half German. They took me to Berlin the first time. Went back to the States with them lived in New York. Played 2 years around New York with the Golden Showers and toured the States and Europe. [Laughing] Succesfully ran away from New York to New Orleans. On the run and stayed in New Orleans for about a year and a half and then President Bush took office and we went to Berlin. Left America, and I’ve been in Berlin for 4 years. I know I sound old but I’m only 28."
Holly:
"Raised in Tennessee. Went to Berlin as an exchange student. 16 fell in love with Berlin. Went back to Tennessee. Then moved back to Berlin again at 18. Then moved to DC where I studied fine arts. Then I moved back to Berlin again and I started an electro-band that didn’t work out. And then Nicole asked me to join Electrocute. "
50's Americana
"Holly: You gotta like something about America. Might as well take the shiny part. "
"Nicole: That’s really jaded. [laughs]. I dunno, I like glamour. When I was in New Orleans I was really fond of it because all this burlesque and really amazing girls all dressed up and I worked at a store where they sold wigs and make up. And all the drag queens would come in there and I kinda got into wearing fake eyelashes. Just being glamorous and like kind of an exaggerated woman or something. Sometimes when I dress up I feel like a drag queen. Basically, like the way a guy would take the role of a woman and exaggerate it. So I mean its not a necessity for us either but its just fun and just things that sparkle and when you’re doing show-business; part of it is getting dressed up… "
Instrumental Update
About her Fender Mustang:
N: "Oh I just wrote that on there [website] to be kitschy. The guitar is special itself. It’s from 1961 and it’s very rare, it’s the blue colour jade or whatever, I don’t know what they call it. It’s the most rare. It’s the first guitar that I really felt ‘oh now I know how to play’ all of a sudden. Like I had all these bashed up guitars and traded everything I owned in for that guitar. It’s been the one sentimental guitar that I’ve had. So I like it."
On the sickly Novation Bass Station
"H: Kaput
N: Kaput
H: Actually it’s with Stereo Total
N: They took it back.
H:(screams) they stole it !
H: I have the Korg Sequencer now and a little sampler."
