Opera (band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Opera are a French band, consisting of Electrosexual and Abberline, two connaisseurs of retrofuturistics and synthetic sounds . They started their musical career separately before collaborating then forming the band in 2005 as an union of their musical tastes creating their own modern synth disco glam rock universe tainted with decadent and visual performances..
Although Opera's music is often referred to as electronica, their form of electronic music really owes more to the synthesizer sounds of the 1970s and 1980's such as Claudio Simonetti,disco mentors Bobby O and Patrick Cowley and french composersFrancis Lai and Michel Legrand. Other influences are psychedelic synth disco rock pioneers such as Goblin and Tangerine Dream
Opera uses many of their studio instruments (like Korg synthesizers MS20,Polysix Roland SH09 and Vocoder) live on stage to make people dance with a very stylish pop electro music where the strong rythm adding analogic basslines mingles with a lyrical harmony with classical lines of strings & synths.
Making their great debut last year at the amazing London’s Computer Blue Hanky Panky & Whatever parties (supported by Blitz Kids legend Princess Julia and Punx Soundcheck DJ sets), and excentrics Berlin’s Blood Fest & Plastique underground parties hosted by New York, electro lovergirl Dahlia, Opera presented a brand new set this year at Madame Jojo’s Electrogogo (supported by Mark Moore from S'Express & Lene Lovich), La Scene Bastille & Le Neo in Paris with DJ Wild (Get Physical) and at the legendar Bus Palladium for a wild party for the summer 2006 Fashion Week with The Dead Sexy Inc. Opera started composing brand new material, collaborating with new yorkers Hong Kong Counterfeit on 2 brand new tracks for a forthcoming vinyl EP on the french label Rock Machine Records, due to early 2007.
