Berlin-based band Warren Suicide see themselves as an audio-visual art experience and artist collective which does not follow any clear scheme or old structures. Cherie (Vocals & visuals) and Nackt (vocals & guitar) is the core of the band, performing their music live on stage with various musicians who are friends of theirs. Therefore, any additional member of the band is a variable that underlines the uniqueness of the band and every single concert turns into an unparalleled event.
Warren Suicide originated 2003 in a loft in Neukölln, Berlin. Two men, Nackt and Fremdkörper, were working on songs in the studio; they were looking for a sound, a character. Cherie was sitting in the kitchen, heard the notes and drew a strange figure on the paper in front of her. A small face appeared in, the outlines slightly contorted, the body slender and asexual, thin arms and legs. It smiled carefully, the teeth looking like those of a fish, the eyes with the look of a newborn baby, but wide open. Warren Suicide was born.
Next door, the first song was created, starting with the words: “Hello, hello, my name is Warren Suicide”. Ever since the music and Warren existed, inseparable also in reality. Warren is no invisible band member or some cartoon character – he is an essence, he activates the musicians – Warren Suicide lies somewhere between the imaginable and the apprehended.
In April 2006, the first album was released on Fume Records in England. The band has frequently toured Europe and the US with their ecstatic mixture of Electro fuzz, Punk, Pop and Comic-Visuals. The BBC invited them to play a radio gig, currently Gods of Blitz and Duné are getting remixes by the band – in the past artists such as Placebo, Dub Pistols and Die Happy worked with Warren Suicide on their remixes. Yoko Ono loves their version of John Lennon´s “Yer blues” and at the end of 2007 they supported IAMX and Northern Lite on their European tours. Warren Suicide’s new album “Requiem for a missing link” was released in June 2008 on Shitkatapult.
Warren Suicide is unpredictable and he still isn’t pretty. But he is not afraid of anything in this world.
