If you think of a song about racing driver Johnny Herbert, the 1993 'Johnny Needs a Fast Car' by Chris Rea, will come to your mind. But there's another one, 'Something for Johnny' and it was created by the band Stereophonic Space Sound Unlimited for their 1998 album 'The Fluid Soundbox' (for the full album: https://open.spotify.com/intl-fr/album/3l3ksLB0qQpRXy4Tov3VsC?si=O4kOlFFwS-eiXkhR6_4tiA ). One of SSSU band member was Karen Deblitz, hostess in the Sauber F1 team for which Johnny drive from 1996 to 1998.
(From: F1 Racing, october 1998) Guests at the Red Bull Sauber Petronas team motorhome are usually greeted by music. That's hardly surprising. Hostess Karen Deblitz, a self-confessed Anglophile - "I always tell people I'm Swiss/German, with an English heart!" - is an accomplished musician with two albums to her credit.
"I was inspired by punk rock when I was 15; bands like The Clash and The Ramones. But I also liked '60s girl groups, like The Shangri-Las and The Supremes. I started out in 1982 as lead singer in a three-girl group called Chin Chin".
She plays bass guitar, pedal steel and a bit of mandolin, and with former boyfriend, Ernest Maeschi, formed a folk band that played gigs with The Pogues (in their post-Shane McGowan phase) in Switzerland. Now they play together in Stereophonic Space Sound Unlimited. Their first album, Lost TV Themes, comprised self-penned parodies of typical soundtracks. The second is another electronic instrumental, The Fluid Soundbox, which includes a track dedicated to Johnny Herbert.
"Basically Ernest writes the songs,'" says Karen, "and then I suggest changes here and there, altering the drum grooves and the base lines, the percussion, adding my stuff to them so they become a mixture. It's an instinctive process."
Blending two careers isn't easy, especially as F1 always takes precedence. "We don't do any concerts but during the winter, when the season is over, I work in the studio. Once the season starts, the music stops! I love F1 and the Red Bull Sauber Petronas team is full of really good people. The music, though, gives me an important second interest in my life."
