perfect
Jamie Clarke, guitarist, singer and the soul
of Perfect was born in 1964 in the middle of nowhere and
destined to go places. Moved to Camden, the heart of London
and the centre of the music world in 1987, he started
his career with 80's poptastic Innocence Lost and ended
up touring the world with famous Irish folk punk band
The Pogues.
Pedja, the award-winning Bosnian
high speed accordion player brings an exotic flavour
to the traditional folk-sound of perfect. He came to
Germany as a student, until he met the friend of a friend,
of a friend in a German-course, who knew someone, who
was at the time looking for an accordion player to set
up a new folk group. That of course was Jamie, who at
that time was experimenting with drummer Jochen Ritter,
who left the band in summer 2000. They all liked each
other and started working together.
Andy Schabinger, the new drummer,
was found with the help of the internet, that wonderful
new toy of all computer-owners. He's a young lad from
Bodensee, who likes to do new things with his drums.
He enjoys the Perfect-Style and brings a lot of creativity
and amazing talent to the band. With his brandnew "cocktail-drum-kit"
(oh my god, it's sparkling silver...!) he also adds
a trendy cool look to the band's legendary stage-show.
Perfect have successfully played
more than 200 concerts all over the world. Their famous
action-packed live show is a perfect mixture of folk-rock
and good compositions.
