Right! Our first album was made after fourteen days of rehearsal. The album has been cheered for its
characteristic and fine unpretentious sound; criticized for its production and cover, but still WESTERN SOUL was
our first album, and we think it worked very well.
Today Bonk consist of four core members. Since the first album we have had gigs in Europe, USA and China, and
spent time making the second album, Bonk Against Nothing, which will be release in the states in November 2006.
The new album is recorded by Anders Møller (Turbonegro, Euroboys, Silver, Paperboys) and mixed by Ulf Holand (A-
Ha, Turbonegro, Gluecifer, Motorpsycho ++) In addition to our eleven favorite tracks, follows a live video from
the Midi fest in Bejing. Don’t miss it! The Chinese audience came across as fantastic and they didn’t lack the
enthusiasm of a 60’s rock audience. Looking forward to further adventures!
Since the last release, we have travelled quite a lot. Amongst others we have toured with Gluecifer, as earlier
mentioned played at the Midi fest and been gigging at film studios in Shang Hai. We have also had the time to
visit Texas and New York. On our travels we have met all sorts of people with or without hair, with or without
any memory. We have also had the opportunity to meet a great mask maker with a descent record collection and some
dodgy eating habits, we got fans all over the world, and many have tried to pigeonhole Bonk; we can mention
definitions as a rock band, onomatopoetikon, art collaboration and activities of a sexual character. Is it right
to describe Bonk as a streamlined uniformed band with equal opinions? Well? None of the band members will find
themselves comfortable in a definition as such. In New York someone claimed that they came across as a Motorcycle
band. Wrong again? Bonk is a collaboration of individuals as different as our tunes, and we seldom agree hundred
percent, still we are friends. The secret is that we never look back. Along the way it has been good and less
good ideas, but that is far gone. Forget and regret, our focus is on the future, and BONK AGAINST NOTHING is
available in the mean time. So long goodbye!
