647.0. "The Rainbirds" by GALVIA::STEPHENS (Not me, baby - the mints) Thu Apr 05 1990 11:17

Anybody know anything about a band called the Rainbirds? They have a song called
Sea of Time (which is over 10 mins long). The band are possibly German, and have
a female singer with a very strong voice. That's all I know, but I was wondering
who they are, and whether they have released any lps!

    	Ah the Rainbirds, great stuff, they are indeed German, there 
    	are 2 albums -
    
    	Rainbirds
    	Call me easy, Say I'm strong, Love me my way, It ain't wrong
    
    	and alas there will be no more, they've split up, but I believe
    	the singer, Katarina Francke (what a voice!) is doing solo stuff 
    	(this was the last I heard, 'bout 8 months ago, maybe someone in 
    	Germany has more up to date info).

    	Hokay, the record label is Phonogram GmbH, the numbers -
    
    		CD	838176-2
    		LP	838176-1
    		MC	838176-4
    
    	I bought both CD's in Germany, so have no idea if it's the
    	same deal over here.
    
    	If you have no luck, since you're in Galway, I could get it taped
    	for you and sent over (I'm in Dublin) or there a plenty of people
    	making the trip regularly, just let me know.
