ELECTRIC ELECTRIC Sad Cities Handclappers

Description

Electric Electric, a hyperactive two-piece band from Strasbourg, lures us into some spastic dancing with their new type of instrumental music, based on a minimalistic, mechanical and apocalyptic rock.

Now complete with a third musician on stage, they create multiple rhythmic and noise-flled loops that utterly electrify the venues they perform in. The audience leaves their show confused and amused by their experimental musical intentions, which take apart piece by piece every elements of a huge rock puzzle in order to better build its future incarnations.

Electric Electric formed in 2004, heavily infuenced by the sounds of the Skingraft label and bands that combine noise-rock and explosive performances on stage. With these foundations, Electric Electric has refned an aesthetic sense of repetition, minimalism, and most of all, dance music.

In the midst of their songs, the band also gives off an atmosphere of melancholy and sickness (epilepsy, claustrophobia). Some would say their music fts right between Donna Summer and Sunn-O.
