   About Voltaire Twins
Voltaire Twins - Jaymes and Tegan Voltaire have been making music since before either of them can remember, but it’s only in the last year that they’ve been actively writing together as the Voltaire Twins. Fusing 8-bit electro with nu-rave pop, the Voltaire Twins are an arpeggiated assault on the senses.

The Voltaire Twins are yet to release or even record anything more than a couple of rough bedroom demos, but they’ve already established one hell of a reputation for their energetic, sometimes unpredictable live performances. They’ve been attracting a great deal of attention from labels and promoters both over east and here in WA, and in the last few months they have been asked to support the Dukes of Windsor, Para One (france), Gameboy/Gamegirl, Sleater Brockman and the Bang Gang Deejays.

The Voltaire Twins are currently programming and recording their upcoming debut EP.

“The Voltaire Twins’ sound improves with every gig, and this week was no different. The Capitol sound system copped a beating from the chunky bass-lines of tracks DIL and London… Prepare yourself for more poptronic as this loveable duo emerge from the studio” – Fasterlouder.com 21/6/08

“It's really solid songwriting. Great meoldies, song structure, use of builds.... One for fans of Crystal Castles and New Order for sure!” – Dan Buhagiar, Triple J (five star review)
