Men Imitating Machines (AUS) take live drums, bass and guitar and turn them on their ear. Jarman Donohue (10100010010110101) and Matty O’Brien (01001101001000011101011) play 100% live electronic sounds built with the foundations of bass heavy beats, huge riffs and infectious electro vibes. The boys use a MIDI bass, MIDI guitar and MIDI drums hooked up to a computer, shaping a sound totally on the fly with live visuals. NO CHEATING! This coupled with a gobsmacking light show by Tommy Gunn, wild stage antics, crowd heckling and a dislike of shoes makes them a thing of robotic beauty!
Sea Air is inspired by the vibe of the ocean - the tang in the air, vast skies and clear cool nights. It was recorded in 3 places within stones throw of the beach: Puerto Escondido in Oaxaca Mexico, Kilcunda in Victoria Australia and the sunny Gold Coast in Queensland Australia. This is Men Imitating Machines second single off their 'Suits not Bombs' album and they will be previewing this track along with the rest of the album tracks in Europe this June on a multi date tour.
