Birgit Karla Krause

1982 - today: German vocalist from Hagen, active in various new wave, pop and rock formations, several LP and single productions with "Ariola" and the well-known "Schallmauer Label". She sang for the early Kraftwerk member Klaus Dinger at "GrundFunk Studio", produced a single with the "Die Toten Hosen" for "Der Wahre Heino" in the legendary ATATAK Studio and sang backing vocals for "Rheingold" founder Bodo Staiger in the "Skyline Studio" in Düsseldorf ". She also recorded a few tracks and produced a few singles with "Stahlnetz" musician Jochen Rausch and the former "KFC" punker Tommi Stumpff. She left her own band, "Din-A-4" after just one year and founded another one with pianist and friend Johnny Kluten, bassist Bill Brown (The Fred Banana Combo) and guitarist Dietmar Kittel from Hagen: "Pick Pockets", which did not move on the ND wave. In the meantime, she continues to sing advertising jingles and spots, dubbed e.g. Cartoon music film settings - and now and then it can also be heard on CDs by the band "Happy Gangstas" - a funny, weird Düsseldorf combo that has everything from gypsy music to jazz...
