Autonervous

In 2005, the Vanishing's singer/sax player Jessie Evans moved to Berlin. Then, like a personal ad from God in an alternate universe, she met Bettina Koster, singer/sax player from the pioneering, John Peel-beloved post-punk band Malaria. A year later, the two are the vox/sax duo Autonervous, with a self-titled debut album out June 6 on Cochon Records (the label Evans co-runs) Autonervous mixes two undergrounds, Berlin 1980 (Koster) and San Francisco 2000 (Evans).

There's an Amanda Lear cover ("Gold"), a German-language reworking of the Vanishing's "Still Lifes" ("Still Kaltes") and, natürlich, lyrics about love 'n chains. Autonervous is no longer playing shows as a duo, and both women are currently working on completing their first solo records.
