After rousing gigs like for example at the Fest 2007 The Patricks are finally available for domestic use, too. On their firstling "Milk Me!" the five young lads from Karlsruhe Cecil B (vocals, synthies), Sir Henry (keys, synthies), Timekut (git.) and drummer Copkillah cross 80s-Casio-Sounds with snotty punkriffs, wavy sadness with Electro/Dance-hedonism. Joy Division meets Hot Chip meets Gorillaz, to name some really big addresses. Youthful airiness, winking humor, catchy melodies and rhythm you can dance to exquisitely - that makes fun, inspires and makes you go for the next Patricks-gig (e.g. on the 12th of July at the INKA-Party at the Stadtmitte). The snappy "Nordic Walking" has yet advanced to the insider-catchy tune in the Fancity anyway. -th

Founded in 1967. After first appearances as support of Jefferson Airplane and Velvet Underground THE PATRICKS soon succeeded in having their international breakthrough with songs like NORDIC WALKING (1969) or LIVING BEAT (1970). In the following years the band played over 1500 gigs attended by millions of fans until in 1976 they took a time-out from the business to dig for gold in the Himalayas. Having wasted all their money on drink and blowing all the riches, the five lusty gents decided to trace back to the beginnings of their career again to let the world once again share their very own special charm and the magic of their music that has affected generations. We proudly present: "THE PATRICKS" (in original cast)
The Gorillaz are on their myspace-friends-list and that`s not so far from the point: Electro-Sounds harmonised by melodies next to good old rock, also punk-attitudes, a good dash of dark pop and Casio-Sounds can be perceived. So there`s lots of influences contained. Could become a freaky gig, this young, promising band is a real insiders` tip. -tfr

With their catchy, but ambitious mixture of Britpop, Indie, Electro und songs like "Nordic Walking" the five boys rocked their audience repeatedly. The young band from Karlsruhe impresses with a chameleonic and catchy mixture you can always dance to.

One of the best and most independent bands of the region are the young The Patricks, who gathered their first and deserved earnings with an acclaimed booking on the Zeltbühne at Das Fest 2007. -rw

The Line-Up is a Who is Who of the Fächerstadt: "The Patricks" open up the orange ballroom live. The young quintet plays a discrete Rock-Pop-mixture with influences of electric music from reggae to electro und just released their first CD "Milk Me!". (...) A furios liveband are the young The Patricks from Karlsruhe, who present their first CD on Saturday, 12th July, from 8pm at the big scene-party at "Die Stadtmitte". -(rowa)

Ich habe mir jetzt "Nordic Walking" angehört, und ich muß sagen, daß mir diese augenzwinkernde, an Trio seligen Angedenkens gemahnende Art der Musik und des Musikmachens sehr gefällt. Weiter so!

Ob sie Instrumente begatten oder laufen mit Nordic-Latten, dufte Typen sind hier zu finden die keine (ihrer) Töne schinden! Hut ab!

,,Wir alle bewundern den flitterübersäten Akrobaten, der im pudrigen Licht mit klassischer Anmut auf dem Drahtseil balanciert; aber wie viel mehr Kunst gehört dazu, in Vogelscheuchenkleidern auf einem schlaffgespannten Seil den grotesken Betrunkenen zu mimen! Gerade ich sollte das wissen." (Vladimir Nabokov) Vielen Dank für die Freundschaft und die netten Worte und musikalische Grüße aus München!
