SOCADIA [so-KAY-dee-uh]
n. an imaginary place offering peace and simplicity in Southern California.
SOCADIA is Stephan Martin and Dusty Schaller, two vagabonds in Los Angeles with an adventurous spirit and a passion for Thai food.
THE SOUND - dark, sexy, electronic rock - nods to bands like Depeche Mode, Smashing Pumpkins, DJ Shadow and the mellower Deftones tracks. Steady, pulsing beats. Smooth bass lines. Insistent guitars, and layers of synths added to taste. Clear, biting vocals oozing with disembodied paranoia. Lyrics about broken relationships; breaking relationships; succumbing; and; ultimately, blissfully letting go. Sweet, sexy catharsis.
SOCADIA's first EP, COY, was mixed by Masaki Liu (Black Rebel Motorcycle Club) and released in 2008. The subsequent music video for "Always Near," shot by Andrea Giacomini (Gnarles Barkley, Fatboy Slim), went on to win the SXSW Click video competition, and was a finalist at HDFest and ViMus in Portugal. COY caught the attention of RedBull, and in Sept of 2008 the band was flown to Austria to perform at Hangar-7 for the L.A. Potential art exhibit. The "Land of Peasants" music video (also shot by Giacomini) was screened at LA FilmFest 2009 alongside videos from Bjork, Depeche Mode, Bloc Party, and more.
SOCADIA is currently playing shows throughout Southern CA while their new EP, [trees for the forest], is being mixed. [trees for the forest] is set to be released in October of 2009, and the first song "The End of the World" can be heard now at www.myspace.com/socadia.
