Balcony's Paradise

After Jeff Clarke moved from Edmonton, Canada, in 2000 to escape a life as a laborer in the Alberta oil sands, his musical journey began with a 56-hour bus ride that took him to Montreal, Quebec, where he formed the legendary band Demon's Claws. A release on the German underground label P-Trash was followed by several tours of Europe and the U.S., until finally the American indie label In the Red Records took notice of the band and released two studio albums. His boisterous garage rock compositions once led to King Khan identifying him as one of the “unsung heroes of rock n’ roll.” Before his time in Berlin, Clarke released the album "Hated by the Sun" and some singles/EPs with Hellshovel (Slovenly Recordings) and collaborated on an album together with Emily Frances Bitze under the name Milk Lines (In the Red Records) and for several years now he has also been a member of the US garage rock band The Black Lips (Fire Records). On June 9th 2023, Bretford Records released “Locust” – a stripped-down, melancholic change of pace from Clarke. After the s/t debut album, Lorenz O'tool is working on a new unknown dimension of being. Together with Benjamin Zimmermann, they present the long-awaited return of lifting the bandstand at Loophole.
