Marlene Marder

Marlene Marder was a founding member of the influential Swiss post-punk band Kleenex. Marder started the all-female band in Zurich in 1978, along with Klaudia Schiff. The pair remained the only constants in the group's lineup until they disbanded in 1983. Originally called Kleenex, the band changed their name to Liliput in 1979 after the facial tissue brand threatened legal action. After a series of singles under both band names, Liliput released their self-titled debut full-length in 1982, followed by Some Songs in 1983 after the band had split up.
