DELUKA * Saturday, March 5th @ Webster Hall 

Hot on the heels of an incredible year that saw the release of their
electrifying debut album, You Are the Night, and an East Coast tour
playing packed venues, Deluka are returning to NYC for a show at The
Studio at Webster Hall this Saturday, March 5th. Following these special
New York City shows, the band will head down to Austin for SXSW. Hotly
tipped by NME and Dazed and Confused in their native UK, Deluka showed
the U.S. what all the fuss is about with the release of their debut
full-length album, You Are the Night (Vel/RED),in late 2010.
Enthusiastically embraced stateside as one of the year's most exciting
debuts, Deluka catapulted onto dance floors with their lead single
"Cascade" which spent nine weeks on the Top 100 Alternative chart. Lead
by magnetic front woman Ellie Innocenti, Deluka is known to pack venues
with their floor shaking live shows and raucous DJ sets. www.deluka.com 

The band just released their new single "OMFG." Check out the music

Praise for Deluka: 

 

"Female fronted, attitude laced electro tunes." - Filter 

 

"Girl-charged electro-skuzz punk, akin to Ladytron snacking on The
Killers for brunch."  - NME

 

"Disco- Electro- Indie- New Wave a la early Duran Duran." - Women's Wear
Daily

XYLOS * Tuesday, March 8 @ Mercury Lounge - 6:30 pm 

Brooklyn's own electro-pop quintet XYLOS will be playing an early show
at the Mercury Lounge on Tuesday, March 8, 6:30 pm.  They'll be joining
multi-platinum Johannesburg, South African pop band The Parlotones for
this show, with whom they'll be doing 2 weeks of US dates this March, as
well as making their debut appearances at SxSW.  XYLOS' self-titled
debut album, recorded by Yeasayer and Chairlift producer Britt Myers
will be released April 5, 2011 on the band's 1000x Records imprint as
well as through all digital platforms.  This stunning first release
introduces us to the band's sophisticated-yet-playful songs featuring
lush harmonies, clever, catchy electronic beats and soaring vocal
melodies that draw on influences ranging from Cocteau Twins,  Kate Bush,
the Eurythmics and Steve Reich.   Their live shows are mesmerizing and
magical, with singer/multi-instrumentalist Monika Heidemann's
otherworldly vocal stylings and striking stage presence making for an
intoxicating show. Xylos has been receiving airplay on tastemaker
stations KEXP, KCRW and MPR's The Current, Sirius/XM OutQ and more,
gathering fans and praise for their lush, '80s-inspired pop.

Praise for Xylos:

 " ["Darling Dearest"] is like a female-fronted Hot Chip song mashed up
with a Field Mice song."  - New York Press

 

"A little bit ABBA, and a little bit Kate Bush, Xylos have developed a
unique sound that paints the world like only they know how. " - New York
Post Popwrap Blog "10 Artists to Know in 2011"

 

"Beautiful, eclectic music, combing vocal melodies and electronic sounds
with guitar, drums, bass, keyboards creating upbeat, happy music set to
dark, mysterious lyrics."  - Filter.com

 

"Xylos trades in sing-along songs with a minimum of noise and a surfeit
of jangling bells for audible lyrics, chirpy keyboards, the occasional
string section, and high harmonies that wouldn't be out of place on some
particularly winsome Belle & Sebastian single." - Onion A.V. Club
