Katrin Schmitz
Cambrai, France
Katrin with Popa Chubby
|

Where were you born
Katrin?
I was born in Bückeburg, a
small town of about 10000
inhabitants in Northern
Germany
Do you come from a
musical family?
Yes, you could say so. My
mom played the piano every
day when I was a child;
singing along with it is
among my first memories.
Today I am married to a
guitar player and our son
plays the bass, too
What was your very first
stage appearance?
I started modelling at the
age of 6 (yep! no kidding!),
so being on stage never was
difficult or "exciting". My
first "band" gig was
probably an acoustic guitar
duo; we were comping the
kids from a local school.
Which bassist do you most
admire?
That must be Oteil Burbridge.
There are so many great bass
players out there, but the
one that sticks out like a
sore thumb is Oteil!
Tell us about your gear.
I am lucky to have the
complete deal of my dreams -
strings, bass and backline
are what I always wished for
- and I am dealing with the
companies directly. The bass
is a Sandberg California PM4
Custom Shop. It's one of a
kind, MY bass, and it sounds
like no other instrument I
ever played. it comes with a
"Jazz" style neck, a P and a
MM pickup plus a pretty
lightweight body. Just what
I need. I use Pyramid Pure
Nickel 40-100 exclusively.
Behind me, there's a TEC AMP
Tiger 600 W Top on a TEC AMP
2*12 cab. This combination
does the trick on stage; big
enough to be heared by
everyone, small enough for
gigs in small clubs. They
are doing things the right
way at TEC AMP, and they
voiced the Direct Out to
sound like my actual Rig.
The dude at the mixing table
gets MY sound: top plus 2*12
the way I like it.
Tell us about your
current band.
The Electric Church is
among the very few jam bands
out here in Europe. We are
oscillating between blues,
southern rock and
psychedelic stuff. A classic
line up with two guitars,
bass and drums; I do most of
the singing by now, and I
honestly love the energy
that radiates from the band.
We're good, when we're good!
What other bands have you
played with?
The one band I played before
was named "Sunday 16" (we
formed on a Sunday, 16th of
February. Just a brit-pop
and cover outfit :o(
Apart from your own,
which countries have you
played in?
I live in France and I
played in France, England,
Belgium and Germany so far.
What is your latest
CD/album?
The Electric Church released
"BABELFISH" in October 2007
on the "Tribal Stomp" label.
Check our website or last.fm
for a quick listen before
you buy the CD.
Do you have a message for
people who will read this?
Spend less time on the net
and more on stage :o) |
