kleenex (band)

This article is about the Kleenex band. For information about the tissue of the same name, see Kleenex.

Kleenex was briefly (1978-79) the name of an acclaimed Swiss female post-punk/new wave group, until the threat of legal action by Kimberly-Clark prompted a change of name to LiLiPUT. Consisting of Regula Sing (vocals), Marlene Marder (guitar), Klaudia Schiff (bass) and Lislot Ha (drums) and combining spirited thrash (later modified) with unconventional vocals and lyrics (their mix of adopted English and their native German adding to their charm), the band recorded a number of successful singles prior to Sing's departure, followed by further successes under its subsequent name in the early 1980s.
