BACKTRONAUTS - 80s melancholy in the here and now
Classic synthesizer sounds carry the melodies of the live cello played by Andy Ringaga, composer and head of sound for the band. Pete Strongarm lives up to his name and contributes the supporting beats on the drums, while Robin Drinal's guitars wander between distorted rock riffs and clean licks. The expressive baritone of lead singer Chris Fieldhad lays his lyrics over melancholy vocal lines.
A homage to the 80s, the BACKTRONAUTS spaceship docked in the musical present.
The band creates a multi-layered, dynamic sound experience and touches - emotionally and energetically.
