Artist Information
A-lix is a He and a She with a drum machine and 2 guitars bursting with electro power and pop-punk energy.
Voted No2 of Top Ten Live Gigs of 2008 in Glasgow (Local Acts) by Bluesbunny Independent Music Reviews.
The half French, half Argentinian duo formed in Barcelona in 2005 & forged their distinctive sound while touring on a line traced from northern Poland to Buenos Aires for 2 years.
The band came back to their then headquarters of Barcelona to produce their debut album "Never Grow". They chose to release & perform it on the innovative platform of Scotland's music scene.
It was named album of the week by John Peel Award 2008 Winner, Jim Gellatly on XFM radio, who championed their unique blend of European electro and dynamic retro-punk sensibilities.
BBC Radio 1 Scotland captured the band live at Hydro Connect Festival 08 and A-lix is regularly broadcast on Vic Galloway's show.
BBC Radio 6's Tom Robinson also "introduced" the band to a nationwide audience.
"Energy, enthusiasm and a dash of style" are terms used by live reviewers as A-lix are currently causing a storm on Glasgow's live scene. Highlight gigs include an unforgettable set at the legendary Razzmatazz in Barcelona and recent support slots for THE FAINT and DAS POP on their Scottish date.
A-lix have worked with bookers such as DF Concerts, PCL, Sinnamon promotions or Dicelines Promotions.
The band also feature on various Electronic and Rock compilations across the UK and Europe.

"Listened to your album all night, I f**kin luv'it!"
- Thomas NcNeice, Gang of Four
"Comprising of a stylish Frenchman and a dashing Argentine lady, A-lix [...] create a wave of noise that leaves the audience dancing like puppets on strings. Even those usually opposed to electro-pop will worship at their feet."
- Peter McGee, Bluesbunny reviews
"As pop as they are post-punk (some call it death disco), they wield their guitars like automatic rifles on blistering, swaggering beast of a tune"
- Milo McLaughlin, The Skinny magazine
"I'm a fan"
- Vic Galloway, BBC Radio 1
"A-lix is the proof that Glasgow is a magnet for great bands looking for a great live scene"

"A-lix is top drawer"
- Tallah Brash, Fresh Air Live Radio, Edinburgh
“Death disco never sounded this French and A-lix bring their own, contemporary style to the stage, while referencing a post-punk sound. Set highlight Never Grow sounds great”
- Limbo promotions
"Name checking Ian Curtis in one song, critics have raved about their "energy, enthusiasm and a dash of style" and the band are currently causing a storm on the Glasgow live scene, playing an unforgettable gig at King Tut's in May"
