Kleenex/LiLiPUT: Swiss Pre-Riot Grrrl Post-Punks 1978




This Swiss punk band started as Kleenex but got sued by the company. As LiLiPUT, their flexible punk now flourished through ever fluid line-ups. At the center always were guitarist Marlene Marder and bassist Klaudia Schiff. Their vocals and restless spirit were the pulse that propelled a winding course; tough punk, kraut rock redux, loping pop, angular beauty. All of the work of both bands has been compiled by the Kill Rock Stars label on the affordable double-CD, "LiLiPUT" (KRS 373; 2001). Expand your world with the sonic peers of The Slits and the Raincoats!
