| " Our modus operandi is to be at the forefront of the ever evolving 'nu-sound', la. Unable to be TopShopized due to an undefineable energy, whilst remaining recognisable and distinct. We've been likened to a musical group personification of 'BROAD-BAND', oh yes - an electrical musical collective creating sounds that encompass a range of popular pigeon holes, which are enjoyed by a myriad of ecclectic allsorts. We're here for everyone, but we're doing it for ourselves, alone.
"We are waiting for you at the turning."

Conceived in the eccentricity of Canterbury, England, BODYMACHINE! create energetic, inspirational indie pop-art-noise for the evolving '2012 generation' of the 21stC, hmm. On the upwards strand of the double-helix of pop, they're set to playfully rape your ear-machines. Early gigs include supporting the likes of GOOD SHOES, Fear Of Flying, Rumble Strips, Ladyfuzz & Noisettes. In 2007 they opened the main stage at 'Lounge On The Farm' festival alongside bands including The BEES & SUPER FURRY ANIMALS. The year also enjoyed watching them support The Moths and PUMPS at OSMC, and especially supporting The Bishops at the 'Poulpaphone' festival in Boulogne (France).
OUR CAUSE IS NOT POLITICAL 'POLITICS NEEDS YOUR MIND' OUR CAUSE IS NOT CULTURAL 'CULTURE IS NOT YOUR FRIEND' OUR CAUSE IS VIBRATION "SOUND CREATION & REVERBERATION"
Being 2 school 4 cool 7 you're set to hear resurrected sounds with a twist as the stylophone is rinsed out, rising to musical fame once more, alongside driving drum rhythms and catchy riffs. Sign-wave vocals on the edge of sanity, like a melodic laser into your mind, are mixed into genreless sounds from odd misfits.
"Once you label me, you negate me."
At the early stages of their musical vision they're a 'must see' for those who like to say "I was there", indeed. Conspiring around conspiracy theories, feeding on large helpings of dark comedy and filled with existential angst, they lovingly infiltrate fear and ignorance in the only way they know how - by creating energetic, pre-post-pop songs. Now give us your money...
As 2008 becomes an adult BODYMACHINE! are honing in on the zeitgeist. Promoting their (very nearly sold out) second EP 'we say body you say machine' the machine of men fulfilled their first tour spanning England - "CONSCIOUSNESS & CALENDARS" - in March. Playing with bands such as Sunset Cinema Club, The Shallow Call and Post War Years, they solidified their latest formation and word spread about their attempted quirky live performances. Soon after the tour the band went into the white cliffs of Dover to plot new songs and to Kent to start two new recordings, which are currently being worked on. Both of these tracks were played whilst opening BBC Radio 1's Fringe Festival in Maidstone, May 5th. Now after the third year in a row of playing Lounge On The Farm festival, this time before New York Dolls, Lightspeed Champion, Art Brut and Mystery Jets, and the second year of playing the now riotous Charivari festival they're all - BODYMACHINE GO!
