The music of Karla Wenzel aka Kiki Bohemia is a constant balancing act. She oscillates between power and intimacy, without ever settling on either of these poles. It’s this mix of nonchalance and big dramatic gestures that makes her music so special. She has worked as a studio and touring musician with Arlo Guthrie and Billy Bragg. Since 2005 she has been appearing as Kiki Bohemia, producing and releasing her own material. She is musical partners with Tobias Vethake aka Sicker Man. Together they work on compositions for theater, radio plays, installations and film including for the likes of Schauspielhaus Düsseldorf, DLF, WDR, Bar 25. For the daily livestream series „Cleansing Drones for Locked Down Homes“ in spring 2020 they played improvised concerts for 56 consecutive days which were broadcast and recorded directly on social media. Kiki Bohemia is one half of the duo Slutty Clowns and member of the celebrated neo-kraut-band Trialogos. Over the years her live performances have undergone a continuous evolution. In the beginning Bohemia played psychedelic folk-miniatures with a loop station, organ and dictaphone. Over time her concerts have become more extravagant and her pieces more hypnotic creating performances somewhere between real time composition and psychedelic Krautpop.
