The Electricity Club are extremely pleased to have MARSHEAUX headlining its second live event TEC002 on SUNDAY 29TH APRIL 2012 at Ballyhoo (formally The Bowery) in London. It will be MARSHEAUX first London gig since 2009 and is sure to be one of the highlights of this year’s electronic music calendar.
Comprising of Marianthi Melitsi and Sophie Sarigiannidou, the name MARSHEAUX is actually derived from the first syllable of each of their names. Originally from Thessaloniki, the girls moved to Athens and came together to further their appreciation of electronic pop music. Brought up to the sound of the synthesizer and learning to dance to the beat of electronic drums, Marianthi and Sophie lived on a healthy diet of DEPECHE MODE, HUMAN LEAGUE, OMD, SPARKS, SOFT CELL, DURAN DURAN and NEW ORDER.
They released their first studio album e-Bay Queen in 2004. MARSHEAUX’s irresistible mix of classic pop hooks and virtual analogue synthesis has seen them stretch their sophisticated appeal across Europe. 2007’s Peek ABoo made a great bleep forward but it was their third opus Lumineux Noir that was considered to be MARSHEAUX’s most accomplished work to date. Well received appearances at festivals including Pluswelt and Amphi have gained them a loyal, enthusiastic following. In addition, MARSHEAUX have also played prestigious support slots for OMD, ROISIN MURPHY and CLIENT. As well as recording original material, MARSHEAUX have remixed for other artists including DEPECHE MODE, THE HUMAN LEAGUE, OMD, MOBY, KATY PERRY, MYLÈNE FARMER and ANDY BELL.
In a break from recording their fourth album, The Electricity Club were kindly granted an audience with MARSHEAUX and chatted about their upcoming campaign. More inside »
