Talenthouse

Music of some kind. Not always in tune, but still music.

Location Denmark, Region Hovedstaden, København N

Bio My name is Line Maria aka A Girl in a Rat Suit. I always wear at least two finger rings and believe that chocolate mousse can be a meal. I live in Copenhagen, I'm 28 years old and I'm the only member of my band. I play guitar and keys – additional instruments, singing and co-producing is by my friend Kristian (he has the stasch of a Mexican horse-trader – very cool).

People find it hard to categorize the music I make, but I’ve been compared to The Kills, Portishead and Raveonettes on acid. I will say that my inspiration is mainly grunge, the Danish hymnbook and the sound of banging a pot lid with a wooden spoon.

The story behind my name:

Once upon a time there was a show called Beakmans World on TCC. Beakman wore a neon green coat, his hair was backcombed and he would say bada-bing bada-boom all the time. He taught me about kinetic and potential energy, quantum physics, rocket science and small fact that I can still impress people with at dinner parties, like did you know, that at piece of paper can NEVER be folded more than 9 times, or that a crocodile cannot walk backwards?? Anyways, he had two helpers: Lisa, the smart Björg looking-girl with 20 ponytails (remember, this was in the nineties) and then Lester who, for no particular reason, always wore a rat suit. He always got things wrong and messed up experiments, but no matter what he did, he just said, ”Hey, I’m just a guy in a rat suit!” and everybody would forgive him.

Influences Silver, partens and ponies.
