MY NINJA LOVER’s music has been described as: “Sexy,
haunting and deliciously danceable…” by ‘In The Mix’; and,
“Overflowing with ideas and sonic delights…” by Time Off. Chopping and
dicing genres like a crazed octopus with blades instead of
tentacles, My Ninja Lover (MNL) is a band with an ability to make
music that flows with idiosyncrasy and drips with sass. Based in
Queensland, Australia, the group is united in their desire to leave
behind the shelving structure of modern electronica and create
sound waves that are unique, lasting, and slightly eccentric.
MNL’s constantly evolving original repertoire is as exciting as a nude free-fall from outer space…
Their live cabaret show draws on the considerable musical experiences of all three
members. Porl and Manta have spent many years touring Australia with
Zephyr Timbre, playing at events such as Big Day Out, Livid, the
Falls Festival, and Homebake. Porl and Chris first discovered their
musical connection in the mid 90s as part of Trace Element. In their
various projects, the band members have toured with and supported such
high profile acts as Jamiroquai, Ben Harper, Spearhead, Hybrid,
Moby, and many more. MNL performances
alongside acts including Mix Master Mike, Crazy Penis, Bent, Pendulum,
The Drummatic Twins and Pepe Deluxe have sparked tremors internationally,
and with an ever-changing line-up of guest musicians, the
shows retain their unpredictable freshness… MNL began with a massive kick-start in late 2004, when they took out the grand prize in Nokia's national Terminal Nine Connecting
Beats competition (as voted for by the Australian public),
winning a trip to London and a mastered demo EP. This achievement paved the way for the
commercial release of their debut EP Silk and Daggers in late 2005
through the Creative Vibes label. With the kooky drum & bass flavoured
single Tin Cat getting huge support from major
Australian radio station Triple J, MNL are poised to deliver their
particular breed of sound manipulation to a global audience - the
groundwork has begun for album number one to be released in 2006. Tread carefully
and watch the shadows... My Ninja Lover are ready to pounce… Visit

LOVELESS started out as a side-project for Quentin and Gillian, the keyboardists from popular Australian synth-guitar pop-mash-up group Genshen.
Loveless began as an outlet for the pair to explore their shoegazey roots more thoroughly, but with a catch... using their current instrument of choice, vintage keyboards.
In fact, the duo have claimed to have invented a new style - they call it "electro-gaze"... a minimalist new wave style with shoegazey stylings - loveless is a melting pot of 80s new wave and 90s shoegazey stylings.
Loveless appears as an alien landscape of synths, drum machine, effects, innumerable leads and two very busy musos! The duo plays everything organically in the live context without the use of backing tracks or midi control.
Loveless influences include kraftwerk, stereolab, visage, the faint, my bloody valentine, slowdive, depeche mode, and many more.

TRANSCOM - Special things deserve special
measures.
The passions and tribulations of two electro nutters,
musos, artists hell bent on helping reconnect mature
fans with their past electro love affairs. A
reconnection, or for some, a re-alignment with the live
electro goodness that's still out there.
The retrospective on Martin Gore will be produced by
TRANS:COM itself.
GORESS3 will
provide a journey, a unique representation of how MARTIN
GORE made the journey as key song-writer for DEPECHE
MODE. Depeche came into being shaped by its first key
songwriter VINCE CLARKE. It is very important to mention
his role. Though not known to many, Vince was the
originator of Depeche Mode's initial sound he left the
band making room for Gore to pick up much of the
songwriting from there on.
Vince, as artist/producer, thrived on other activities
working on various brilliant projects including YAZOO,
and of course ERASURE.
In Depeche's early days, Martin Gore contributed just a
little but the relationship between Clarke and Gore was
an important starting point for Gore.
For serious DEPECHE fans, you simply can not miss
GORESS2. Fore more info on Trans:Com go to www.trans.com.au
