ELECTRONICALLY YOURS PRESENTS
EY6: MARSHEAUX
Plus MIKRO (LIVE)

‘Electronically Yours’ are pleased to announce that chic female synth duo MARSHEAUX will return to the UK for the first time since 2008 to play one of London's most stylish venues The Scala on THURSDAY 19TH NOVEMBER 2009. Marianthi and Sophie will be performing choice tracks from their highly acclaimed new album 'Lumineux Noir' which has become a bestseller for German label Out Of Line, reaching No1 on in the Musicnonstop Top10. Some have said it is one of the best electropop albums since DEPECHE MODE’s ‘Violator’.

MARSHEAUX made their UK live debut at the first ‘Electronically Yours’ event two years ago, selling out the Hoxton Square Bar even though the girls were relatively unknown at that time.  MARSHEAUX have also played prestigioussupport slots for OMD and ROISIN MURPHY in Greece.
Their most recent live appearance was at the alternative 'Amphi Festival' this summer where Marianthi and Sophie performed to a capacity crowd in Cologne.

Although still with local parent label Undo via EMI Greece,  since signing internationally to Out Of Line in 2007, MARSHEAUX's irresistible mix of classic pop hooks and analogue synthesis have seen them stretch their sophisticated appeal across Europe where they have gained a devoted following.

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 THE HUMAN LEAGUE, DEPECHE MODE, OMD, DURAN DURAN, NEW ORDER  and SPARKS. As one of modern electropop's leading acts with an arsenal of catchy tunes, they have attracted a number of prominent admirers. THE HUMAN LEAGUE played their track “What A Lovely Surprise” in the pre-show music for the 'Steel City' tour while BBC 6Music's Tom Robinson and Stuart Maconie have praised also their work. In a recent interview with ‘Electronically Yours’, OMD's Andy McCluskey said: “I do have a soft spot for MARSHEAUX I have to say. They have a certain sort of wispy, melancholic charm...”

‘Electronically Yours’ are also very pleased to have MARSHEAUX’s Undo label mates MIKRO opening the night.  Making their debut UK appearance, MIKRO have a very successful career in Greece performing on national prime time TV as well as featuring on a recent high profile ad campaign.

The Scala in Kings Cross has played host to many genre faves over the years including a rare headlining show for electro innovators HEAVEN 17 back in 2005 and more recently for Mercury Music Prize nominee La Roux. This lush venue will be the perfect home for the next MARSHEAUX concert.

Expect plenty of analogue knob twiddling & 'futuristic sounds warbling off and on' as Marsheaux blast through their impressive catalogue of perfect pop!
