Hi Timmo, thanks for continuing to be a friend of Electroflex.
Some important news!
Electroflex have been back in the studio following a break from gigging and recording with new track ‘Computer Virus’.
This is the first of a series of new releases for 2009, and what better day to start on than Liz’s Birthday!
‘Computer Virus’ is a live favourite. Anyone forced to work with computers will know how evil they are and this track is Electroflex’s response to Kraftwerk’s ‘Its More Fun to Compute’. It is a bouncy number with a serious bassline, sing-along chorus and a selection of curious samples.
The track will only be up on Myspace in full for a short time. Alternatively, visit our Facebook and iLike pages where you can add the song to you playlists
We Just Wanted To Say Thank You For Being Our Friend, We Are Working On A New Track At The Moment "Everyday" And Will Get It Out To You As Soon As We Can, In The Mean Time Come And Check Out Our Latest Track "Dive Into The Open" And If You Like It, Tell All Your Friends op Take A Lsiten Too...

“Fall to Earth” now Available from www. hmv. co. uk & www. alunaband. co. uk “This EP is frankly fantastic” – ninehertz. co. uk “Those in need of a fix of psych blues doom with seductively sleazy vocals need look no further” – Kerrang! “The best combination of Doom Metal, 70’s Glam Rock & female vocals so far” – Daredevil Records
shit, thats what that green thing was? i didnt even know it was green until i just saw that photo. i cant wait to get glasses and see again. the genghis tron show got moved to nottingham. as ever. ive taken it personally and need to find out why. i had a few conspiracies but since then, ive found out its moved from a 450 cap venue to the basement at rock city which i think is about 250. i may be wrong. but it would make sense since boringham is full of ignorant music lepers.
that looks pretty good though. official after show. how did that happen?
BELLAFEA (North Carolina USA, Southern Records) discordant indie rock, wildly swerving between sublime, melodic, jarring and cacophonous "you don't see a stage presence like heather mcentire's more than a few times in your life" "perhaps it's the fact that bellafea is better in one tiny ep than most bands will ever be in their careers" myspace. com/bellafea
BLAKFISH (UK, Big Scary Monsters) high energy stop-start post hardcore from "Birmingham's new favourite sons" myspace. com/blakfish
ADEBISI SHANK (Ireland, Richter Collective) technically awesome math-fueled noise-rock "musically manages to skirt every cliche in the book and head out into the clear waters of genius" myspace. com/adebisishank
GREAT ESKIMO HOAX "grandiose atmospherics from Birmingham's finest purveyors of folktronica and sparkling space odysseys" myspace. com/greateskimohoax
