One accordion and a girl with a hell of a voice, The Watzloves from Hamburg/Louisiana are the band around the accordion wild girl Silky Toss, low bow painter and musician, travelling around in a bus, selling paintings and making together with her band, The Watzloves, the best Cajun and Swamp Blues. Besides the Bayou
DM Bob, the drummer and boyfriend of Silky is a legend by himself. He played in several other bands; the most famous was “DM Bob and the Deficits” (Crypt, SFTRI) and he is a Low Brow Painter too…His roots are in Louisiana where he grow up, his present to Hamburg was the Swamp Blues what he had and what the Watzloves try to play now for over 10 years
Jakobus the mulit-instrumentalist is a he’s natural Crazy and a painter as well, makes crazy shit and have exhibitions all over Europe, and is playing besides The Watzloves in DIE STERNE, a Hamburg based band that is pretty famous in the German speaking area of Europe.
Together the Watzloves is as well a low Brow Painting, the stories and lyrics that Silke sings is far beyond normal girly stuff; it’s mad, sad, angry and funny. DM Bob plays the laziest and most laid back drums, the true Swamp Blues drum... Jakobus is switching in one song from trombone over to the slide and guitar and brings the craziness in the band.
This is the 3rd album by the Watzloves; 13 songs and a couple of duets from Silky and Bob, “you made me what I am today” is a Slow Country burner as well the opener and nervous stomper “why don’t you ask me”, “sugar coated love” is party PURE as well the fantastic “you’re on my mind”…..all in all, the Watzloves definitely have found their own sound through the years and there is none who does something similar; and if so they would be just a copy of the Watzloves!!!
