Bobo In White Wooden Houses

Bio

Bobo In White Wooden Houses is the peculiar name given to a band formed by pastor's daughter Christiane Herbold and guitarist Frank Heise in 1990. Herbold – nicknamed Bobolina and born in Halle, East Germany – formed her first band at the age of 13 and went on to study at The Liszt School of Music Weimar.

As one of the first post-reunification bands to emerge from East Germany, Bobo In White Wooden Houses made waves with three award-winning albums, 'White Wooden Houses' (1992), 'Passing Stranger' (1993) and 'Cosmic Ceiling' (1995).

Sadly the 1995 suicide of Frank Heise brought Bobo In White Wooden Houses to a premature end, but in 2004 they reunited with a line up that included original members Lexa Schäfer and Andrew McGuinness.

Their 'Mental Radio' album was released in 2007 and 'Transparent' followed in 2010, completing an impressive journey from the gentle pop of their early recordings to more dreamy pastures.

Bobo has also lent her distinctive, clear-as-a-bell voice to a number of other projects, most notably singing with Rammstein on their 1997 single 'Engel' and providing backing vocals for the track 'Nebel' (from their 'Mutter' album).
