MAHEDA are an acoustic, electronica, trip hop band that have been likened by the media and the industry to artists such as Massive Attack, Frou Frou, The Postal Service and Goldfrapp.
Based in the city of Bath, England, the band consists of Alex Strasman (Vocals, Piano and Guitar) and Emily Adams (Vocals and Acoustic/Electric Guitar). The duo formed in 2007, and combined their varying influences and musical genres to shape what is now MAHEDA. An eclectic mix of jazz, rock and electronica, has created a fusion of musical ideas that is rare to find in such a small outfit. Since forming the band they have been working on perfecting this sound and have been furiously writing and recording their self-titled album.
The album full of mysterious, enchanting songs that are jam-packed with hooky melodies and intricate beats is already causing a massive stir around the UK. Within the first 2 weeks of release the MAHEDA digital download store was hit with over 100 downloads.
MAHEDA have recently been signed to ‘SoAndSo Management’ who are currently booking dates for their National Tour in Spring 2008 to promote the album. If you are interested in having MAHEDA at your venue then please contact them via this myspace. A representative will get back to you as soon as possible.
“There is an intriguing Massive Attack minor-key atmosphere to this band, which lends it a hypnotic textural appeal. Lyrically balanced between the detailed and the dreamy, there is a brooding, sleepwalking quality to their tracks, and the singers drift in and out of the foreground with a curious blend of the passionate and the hazy.
In all of their songs are some very appealing vocal dimensions describing some imagistic, arresting impressions, which coupled with an intriguing contemporary ‘workstation’ approach to texture and rhythm, manages to wrap up a very promising act in a sensual, nuanced soundscape.”
DAVID RAY MOORE – Songwriter/Producer
“With thought provoking lyrics, sensual melodies and captivating beats MAHEDA have produced a Frou Frou meets Damien Rice sound that will take you to the peaks of your emotions before leaving you wanting more. Their haunting sounds are sure to send them to the top! 10/10”

Respect! Wowsa wowsa. Love your space by the way. Keep on keepin on. Music taste is sound as pound underground. Which is a ridiculous rhyme. Merci beaucoup for the add and your interest. I thought you might like to know that I have posted new videos for new fusion mixes. One that has just gone up is a radical combo of Rihanna with a dollop of Peter, Bjorn and John. Rebooted, filtered, animated, shaken, cut, pasted and smashed with a great hammer, deconstructed and turned into Young Folks with Umbrella. We would post it but you don't do html. Naughty child! There are other newey mixes featuring Coldplay and Kraftwerk and a new tune called Scooby Mama which moulds Fun Lovin Criminals to a Scissor Sisters. There's loads of tunes to screw with your brain cells and make you move on the myspace which is being updated with new tunes and vids regularly. Love and Peace. SeXDwArF. And remember...don't do genre. It's stereotype by another name.
Good news! Our debut EP - Empty Love EP -will be available to download from iTunes, Napster etc on 24th March 2008. So please show your support and buy it.
