Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

From the fragments of a supposed Luxembourgish music underground scene, from the pieces of dashed bands (Actarus, Desiderata, Ganesha, Poshblokes and Petrograd), Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep? formed early 2004 as a collage, a mosaic patchwork of sonic styles, tastes and attitudes.

Complex rhythms, hardcore rage, the so called socio-political thought and a dose of experimental sonic confusion all smashed together in order to create a seamless ball of energy, best transmitted in its immediate (immediately (at once) & immediately (without mediation)) state, i.e. live shows, is what best describes the formation.

First mediated outputs were the 10 tracks E.P, adacta/preface released on winged skull in 2004, quickly followed by a split 7inch with aggra makabra, a co production of 6 different international labels. Concerts and tours in Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria, the Czech Republic and the U.K. followed. Then in July 2007 Snapshot Lamento, the first full-length of DADOES? was released by Blade Runner, Kuato and Winged Skull.

As the constant struggle for self-reinvention goes on, so does the striking hit and run. We travel the seas, and we will leave a note here and there All the moves of our (you & us) dances, all the tones of our screaming voices, all the pearls of our sweating bodies All that matters in the end…
