dbo:abstract
  • Botanica was a New-York based band, originally founded in Los Angeles in 1999. It was led by Firewater co-conspirator, keyboardist/singer Paul Wallfisch. The band was named after Botánica stores, which trade in folk medicine, amulets, and other products regarded as magical or as alternative medicine.On 15 January 2014, the band announced via its Facebook page as well as its official website that it was "on indefinite leave". From 1999 to 2002, i.e. after its formation and following the release of its first two albums, Botanica chiefly toured the US, including support dates for 16 Horsepower, Super Furry Animals and Rocket From the Crypt. Since then, Wallfisch lived and worked primarily in Europe, which included a five-year contract (from 2010 to 2015) as musical director of the Theater Dortmund, Germany. Botanica's subsequent albums were all released as a Rent A Dog/Alive label. Consequently, Botanica's tours from 2002 onward also focused on Europe, especially Germany. Botanica's music has been used in several films including Men Cry Bullets (Phaedra), and The Takedown(Dimension/Miramax). Botanica, (with ex-Jesus Lizard David Sims), is featured in Greg Pritikin's film "Dummy" (Artisan Entertainment), starring Adrien Brody and Milla Jovovich. Wallfisch also scored the film. The band released what would be its final album, What do you believe in 2012, followed by a European tour that finished in July 2013. Afterwards, Wallfisch initially focused his musical efforts on a new project with Alexander Hacke (of Einstürzende Neubauten), Mick Harvey (of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds), and , called . Since then, he has mostly written for soundtracks, but also played live with changing collaborators. (en)
