Pop / Soul / Acoustic Melody
Berlin Germany
Kat Frankie spent her youth in the sunburnt suburbs of Sydney, scribing
countless songs in her parents’ sweltering attic. She moved to Berlin
in December 2004, where she is known for her passionate and dynamic
live shows, and a voice capable of illuminating the darker crevices of
human interaction – one moment bell-clear and bright, the next roaring,
howling and accusing…
Kat has released an EP titled
“outside.now.” and also appears on several independent compilations
from Australia and Germany. Kat has just completed her very first
album, “Pocketknife”, which will be released in Europe very soon.
Kat
also features in BerlinSong, a music documentary made by Uli Schueppel
about songwriters in Berlin. The film has been selected to premiere at
the 2007 Berlinale Film Festival! For screening information please go

A blazing debut album, Pocketknife contains beautifully
crafted songs about seduction, deceit and confession, ambition,
mediocrity and violence. It's intense, passionate, heart-breaking,
honest, bitter and sometimes it's funny, too. With sounds ranging from
60's mellotron to cinematic cellos; slow wintry pop to manic electric
guitars and an incredible voice that opens from the tenderest of
whispers into a bruising roar. Sydney bred, Berlin based singer
songwriter Kat returns to Australia this month to launch the album.
