Who is Kourtney Klein?

That's always a tough question .... I am open ... I don't judge ... I play music instruments , I fly by the seat of my pants ..

What is driving you in life and what are your personal goals?  

I don't know what drives me other then I am completely obsessed with music ..

At what age did you start drumming?

10 ... started in band playing the xylophone ... pretty sexy huh?


Xylophone is also to bang on, you basically started banging on things even as a little girl, where does the urge come from to bang on things?  

It simply looked like fun

Kourtney

Why does a young girl start drumming instead of piano or ballet lessons?

I always wanted to play piano  ...I even asked for one for X mass one year , but Santa couldn't fit it in the sleigh supposedly ...I  started playing drums just because I wanted to feel what it was like to hit the damn things  ....


You played in some great bands like Nitzer Ebb and Combichrist, what are you best memories about this times?

Hmmmm both bands are talented and cool .... best thing about Nitzer ebb was touring all over the world with a band I looked up too as a youngster... I liked traveling around with Combichrist just as much but what makes it different is Andy loves his fans and music he makes ..........


To what other bands did you look up as a youngster?

Oingo Boingo, NIN , Depeche mode, U2,  Roy Orbinson , The beatles , Bruce Spingstein, The Pretenders,


At this moment, you don't play in both of them anymore, why did you quit?

I never officially quit from Combichrist ... I was on loan to Nitzer ebb .... then Nitzer ebb became more demanding and Andy had to replace me ... it was tough .. but there aren't any hard feelings .... Quitting Nitzer Ebb is not something I want to really talk about ... I am very happy I moved on though .......

Kourtney

Before playing with both of them, were you familiar with their music, how did you get to join both bands?

I knew about  both bands ....  Rev. John from Das Bunker sent my number to both bands and I auditioned for them .... thanks John ... :)

So you might have some spare time now, how do you fill this? 

I actually don't have " spare time" yet ...... I am just resting a tiny bit, taking time to work on other new exciting things... have some super cool stuff in the works...


So what are these exciting new things?

You also hosted the TV show BOOM, what can you tell about it and what’s the fun for you to blow things up, try to explain this kick to others? 

I was as amazing as you think it would be, to just bash and break pieces of crap ...... dream come true ... I miss those days A LOT ....

Kourtney

If you could pick anything of your choice to blow up, what would it be and why?

I might say something rude ... LOL .. next question


If you weren't a drummer, what would you be doing now? 

Hhmmmmm well I am a drummer sooooo if I were to guess something crazy.......... I would run away and be a Las Vegas Showgirl.. I have the height for it ... plus Kourtney loves bright sparkly things ...

What’s the secret in making love according you,  does anyone know the secret to making love ??

... I know I love Jenna Jameson ... tell you why ..... The biggest fear of most women in modern society is to be called a " slut, whore , tramp, etc. "  woman aren't socially excepted being sexual like men obviously ...... Jenna could be considered all those things for being filmed having sex ...I loved the story of how such a sexual woman gave society the middle finger and put almost a billion dollars in her bank account ...........

Kourtney

So you think there needs to be done alot for the sexual liberation of females? What needs to change in your eyes?

I think that society is still funny about sexual women , but times are changing fast .... You can call me a "Tramp " for being sexual  if You want :) It wont bother me  ..haha
