BODYMACHINE! [BOOKING AUGUST TOUR NOW!]

About Me

We've been considered the first 'BroadBand' - a genreless musical collective creating sounds that encompass a range of popular pigeon holes, which are enjoyed by a myriad of ecclectic allsorts...
"We are waiting for you at the turning."

Conceived in the eccentricity of Canterbury, England, BODYMACHINE! create energetic, inspirational pop-art-noise for the evolving '2012 generation' of the 21stC. On the upwards strand of the double-helix of pop, they're set to bring The New Sound to your ear-machines. Early gigs include supporting the likes of GOOD SHOES, Fear Of Flying, Rumble Strips, Ladyfuzz & Noisettes. In 2007 they opened the main stage at 'Lounge On The Farm' festival alongside bands including The BEES & SUPER FURRY ANIMALS. The year also enjoyed watching them support The Moths and PUMPS at OSMC and especially supporting The Bishops at the 'Poulpaphone' festival in Boulogne (France).
OUR CAUSE IS NOT POLITICAL
'POLITICS NEEDS YOUR MIND'
OUR CAUSE IS NOT CULTURAL
'CULTURE IS NOT YOUR FRIEND'
OUR CAUSE IS VIBRATION
"THE NEW SOUND IS COMING"
Being 2 school 4 cool you're set to hear resurrected sounds with a twist as the stylophone is rinsed out rising to musical fame alongside driving drum rhythms and catchy riffs. Sign-wave vocals on the edge of sanity, like a melodic laser into your mind, are mixed into genreless sounds from ecclectic misfits.
"Once you label me, you negate me."
At the early stages of their musical vision they're a "must see" for those who like to say "I was there". Conspiring around conspiracy theories, feeding on large helpings of dark comedy and filled with existential angst, they lovingly infiltrate fear and ignorance in the only way they know how - by creating energetic, pre-post-pop songs. Now give us your money...
As 2008 becomes an adult BODYMACHINE! seem set to become the zeitgeist. During their first tour of England - "CONSCIOUSNESS & CALENDARS" - in March, they solidified their latest formation and word spread about their quirky live performances. Soon after the tour the band went back into the studio to start new recordings, which are currently being worked on. Both tracks were played when the band opened BBC Radio 1's Fringe Festival in Maidstone May 5th. With another tour in the planning it's all BODYMACHINE GO!
â€œWe have a world of pleasure to win, and nothing to lose but boredom.â€
We made our EP - 'we say body you say machine' with New Day Music studios and it was an absolute delight! They're the best recordings we've ever had in our whole entire lives on this stinkin sphere, oh yes, and we would definitely recommend their service... He reverbs like a butterfly and compresses like a bee. Just click below on the incredible image I made for them. And for heaven's sake buy our EP below that.

ANSWER-MACHINE!

"You guys are a real breath of fresh air among all the Jam/Oasis/Libs copycat bands knocking about."
SiZe (Indie club night)

"Little Things - Indie rock meets pop funk, very easy to listen to and will have you singing along in no time at all. Presented in a Prince - Purple Rain stylee."
Mutedpie.com
(E-zine)

"Sounding like Calvin Harris mixed with Bloc Party. That was the first track of two tracks from this weeks featured artist BODYMACHINE!, called Giiiirls! I bloomin love that!"
James Bursey
(BBC Radio Kent DJ)

"Finally an amazing band with a real message behind it! A rare concept in the twenty-first century and perhaps the most exciting thing coming out of Canterbury today! Most welcome to play any of shows that we do, their support is that of immense proportions!"
Josh Hollands
[Love Music Hate Racism]

"The mighty BODYMACHINE! are an all out party band that are sure to get folk dancing with their synth/bass/stylophone tuneage."
SiZe (Indie club night)

"Your song rings around my house like a Christmas melody, my housemates love it and I do too."
Craig EAT THE RICH [ETR]
(Ethical Tee Shirts)

"Cyborg porn does not appeal to Huw Stephens!"
NEW DAY MUSIC Studios

"I am a believer in this kind of project. Music with a message and a meaning changes the lives of millions. Its great when knowledge is transformed into music or art and then broadcast to the world."
Michael Tsarion (Author)

"I wanted you to know that I checked your tracks out and I am impressed by them. Usually when I listen to tracks on myspace it's hard to find anything kind to say. However, I feel that you are one of the hottest, unsigned bands that Iâ€™ve heard in a while. The instrumentation is tight, vocals are very entertaining and I could tell that you all enjoy playing together."
'Clairissa, MBC VP of A&R'
('Music Business Connection')

"Your band don't half drink a lotta tea!"
DELTA Studios

"BODYMACHINE! you are wild. WILD!"
Tellison (band)

"Listening to BODYMACHINE! is like taking ecstacy and banging your head against a wall... The perfect combination!"
Liam Preston [CSR Radio]

"Armed with catchy, synth-laden songs, a mean dance routine, and plenty of stencils and paint BODYMACHINE! are definitely worth catching live."
The Font (Magazine)

"I feel excited that something like yourselves is coming out of Canterbury and hope you go for it big fucking time..."
The Mad Bad Line (Band)

"Proud recipients of a day out in a music studio after winning our band/ticket competition last year, and now proud owners of the opportunity of kicking off the LOTF main stage for 2007. BODYMACHINE! are a local band going from strength to strength. They played for us recently at a warm-up gig and have morphed from some angular guitar-led band of yester-year to an all-new turbo charged punk funk blizzard, with shared vocals, skippy rhythms and solid grooves. One to watch we'd say."
Lounge On The Farm (Festival)
