A flood of sound, fallen to spring, is rising on the horizon: KATZ, the new solo project by Paul Marschke, frontman of the East Swiss emerging band PAUL PALUD.
English lyrics meet waves of cinematic motifs, wrapped in piano solos, electric guitar walls, and gossamer-thin voices that melt into one another.
KATZ has been evolving for more than two years and is currently in the production phase of its first EP, IDES OF MARCH – a spring tribute. It has been recorded and produced so far in Neukölln, Berlin, and Bürglen, Thurgau. Over the coming months, additional elements such as a chamber orchestra from Berlin, a young jazz band from Zurich, and individual soloists from Switzerland and Austria will push the vision of the EP forward.
The goal is to release the EP in autumn 2025 with a fully developed show, promotional material, and a solidified concept, and to bring it to the stage. The first KATZ live band meeting, with musicians from across Switzerland, will take place on January 31, 2025.
At the same time, Paul is working on the follow-up album: initial demos are already in place.
As the bandXos winner of 2023 and an alumni of the LA Gustav Academy 2024, Paul gained valuable stage experience and contacts over the past year. During this intense and inspiring period, he has continued to work on his long-nurtured passion project. Now it's time to let KATZ out of the bag. :)
