Bar de Aux

About Me

"There was no intelligent, people-friendly and ambitious electronic scene in our city, until we came..." - that's the prologue for the story of Bar de Aux - the band, whose music was described usually described as electro new wave, glam electro or electroclash... Mike Spaski and Jean-Jacques Fagault met each other in summer 2006. Sharing common interest in electronic music, mostly electroclash, synth-pop and new wave, they decided to start a musical project of their own. "We want to show the nightlife and entertainment the way it is, no masks, no hypocrisy towards the people who attend our concerts" - explains lead vocalist Mike Spaski. "We're making music, that's filled with emotions, sex, drugs, people's relations and, of course, addiction to glamourous lifestyle..." Shocking and provocative performances of two young men, tainted by the dancefloors, leave nobody apathetic towards their music. In 2007 the duo became trio - guitarist Artem Draçon joined 'Bar de Aux' in order to help Spaski and Fagault in their crusade to leave less drugs for future generations. New band member influenced their music significantly. Transferring from electroclash sound, musicians focused themselves on studio work and creation of the new live performances. After several successful live shows, Bar de Aux recorded their first EP. Trio decided to make it available for free download. After that release Bar de Aux became true 4-piece live-band, having a drummer for their live shows. During spring 2008 JJ Fagault left the band due to the conflicts and misunderstandings. "We used to be more of a electroclash live art-project. Now we're more like a live band who plays... hm... We don't know. Let's call it Hard Disco or 'Pop Music for insiders'." - explain Mike and Artem of Bar de Aux.Booking: [email protected] contact: +7 926 203 3886, [email protected]
