French electro trio Minitel Rose is back in the game. Two years after their first album, The French Machine (Futur, 2008) which sold over 10,000 units (!), Raphael, Romain and Quentin are finally releasing its follow-up. The new album is called Atlantique and it’s out since June 7. Atlantique features 13 potential hit tracks and exceeds the expectations…The first single of the album ‘Wild Birds’, has an Electro-House tinged Disco SynthPop sound with full effect on this energetic, anthemic track.

It’s retro synth chords and uplifting vocals seriously bode well for this album being the soundtrack to the summer. On remix duties they have some big names, including Barretso, Kolt13 and Thieves Like Us.

Minitel Rose is an electro-disco trio originally from Nantes, France. They are part of the Valerie Collective together with their fellow tour mates Anoraak. The awsome French trio is sticking to their roots by fusing French touch and disco with electro riffs.

They are touring the world around as a live band and with their eclectic electro/new wave DJsets.

Minitel Rose has played with their 4 man live band and DJ’ing at some of the best clubs and festivals around the world like Transmusicale (Rennes), Printemps de Bourges, 4sans (Bordeaux), Social Club & Showcase (Paris), Razzmatazz (Barcelona), Olympic (Nantes), Villa Rouge (Montpellier), Batie festival (Geneva) etc …

You will see a lot of these French men the next many months.

“A bright glimmer of real promise here” - NME

“Minitel Rose share Klaxons’ melodic sensibility, Boy Crisis’ lissom sophistication and, at their best (whistle-tastic single ‘Magic Powder’, a potential indie-electro ‘Young Folks’), Lykke Li’s spare sound palette. They should ease off the shrill, clichéd Justice synths, but there is a bright glimmer of real promise here.” NME

In May 2009 the book „BURNING FIGHT: The Nineties Hardcore Revolution in Ethics, Politics, Spirit and Sound“ by Brian Peterson was published in the USA. The book addresses the history of HC in the eighties but especially in the nineties exposing the background and band histories as well as an attitude towards life. The US concerts that followed after the publishing of the book encountered a strong appeal among fans around the whole world. This effect especially occurred in Europe.

This resulted in them having a corresponding tour 2010 in Europe. It all began with the legendary YOUTH OF TODAY, founded in 1985, around the Shouter RAY CAPPO. In the late eighties they took over the heritage of the first Straight Edge Wave from bands such as Minor Threat, SSD and DYS and emerged to be one of the outstanding acts. The band consist of John”Porcell” Porcelly on the guitar, Sammy Siegler (i.a. Rival  Schools) on the drums and Ken Olden (Damnation A.D.) on the bass.

The SPERMBIRDS could be won over as a dignified Co-headliner even if sex is/was not their topic. The quintet around the American singer Lee Hollis was founded in the early eighties and was one of the first European bands to play hardcore as a fast variation of Punkrock. Within their 25 year band history they toured all around Europe, Australia and South Africa.

In early September their eighth  studio album “A Columbus Feeling” (Rookie Records) will be released just in time for their upcoming tour. The SPERMBIRDS will present a mix of All-Time-Hits such as “my God rides a skateboard” and “Try again” as well as new songs.

Expressway Mix Pt.1:

Das Musikmagazin Popmatters bezeichnet das Album von Rubik als „brilliant, album-of-the-year type material“. Wenn man ihre Musik höre, bekomme man Gänsehaut. Es wäre als würde man die Gedanken von jemand anderem kennen. „Dada Bandits“ ist das zweite Album von Rubik. Das Album ist ein schauriger Seiltanz zwischen dem Intimen und dem Elefantenartigen, dem Melodischen und dem Geräuschvollen, dem Wunderschönen und dem Abscheulichen. Sie können so verschlossen und abgestumpft wie die kunstbeflissenste Rockband sein und trotzdem mit einer solchen melodischen Stärke herausbrechen, dass sie die ganze Welt umschließen können.

Sie haben zahlreiche Konzerte in Europa und Nordamerika gegeben und sind bereits mit Leute wie Mogwai, Autechre, Apostle of Hustle und Disco Ensemble aufgetreten.

Eins ist sicher: Sie waren nie Fehl am Platz!
