Lolita Terrorist Sounds

“A driving beat pushes Lolita Terrorist Sounds from a cool classic sound to a new strange world...” – Thomas Wydler ( Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds ) “It reminds me of the best post-punk bands from the 70s...hotter than a frying pan, sharper than a razor...” – Kristof Hahn ( Swans, Pere Ubu) “Splicing together the grit and dirty glamour of the best 80s coldwave and industrial rock - with 21st-century shine and shiver all its own...” – Nick Soulsby (author of several books on Nirvana , Sonic Youth and Swans) Lolita Terrorist Sounds is a Berlin-based avant-garde band founded by Maurizio Vitale. The name is a provocative combination of Nabokov’s novel title “Lolita”, and adding the challenging perception of the word “Terrorist”. Both were generated using the W. Burroughs cut-up technique and adding to it the word “Sounds” to best describe the groundbreaking nature of the band's compositions and performances. Vitale’s past and present collaborations include work with members of acclaimed bands such as Einstürzende Neubauten, Swans, Iggy Pop, Thåström , PJ Harveyand Faust. His talent was at the service of the legendary Sabar percussionist Doudou N’Diaye Rose (SN), and he has played with German singer Andrea Schroeder .In support of their previous release “Shaved Girl”, Lolita Terrorist Sounds has opened for the Swedish artist Anna von Hausswolff . “Shaved Girl” was released as a limited edition vinyl release on the cult label Psychofon Records (The Residents).
