Owning shoegaze 80's rock forked with synthesizer anthems that stick out noticeably in this new age of garage bands and cover-thump disco acts is an accomplishment M83 can be proud of.
Harking from Antibes, France, this band has paid their dues. Congealing in 2001, M83 have release five albums to date and don't seem to be slowing down. These super seniors are picking up the speed with their most recent gem Saturdays = Youth. This more than notable tribute to the 1980's has me reeling with neon joy wishing acid wash, flattops and legwarmers were still respectable terms.
Make the effort to see them live and you will realize why they are celebrated. Past affiliations include acts like The Rapture, Sigur Rós, Goldfrapp and Bloc Party, respectively. They toured with the Kings of Leon in the UK in 2008 and in 2009 they will lock in with Depeche Mode and later in the year with the Killers in Australia. Signature blue synthesizer docks are the order for the day. Make sure you bring your oversized suits and Movados!
