The band will introduce America to their electrifying sound at a handful of shows in Los Angeles starting October 13 before heading to New York for CMJ.
Spleen United (a nod to French modernist poet Baudelaire) comes to these shores decorated with a slew of Danish music awards and #1 hits. With a live show that is simply explosive, as witnessed by more than 50,000 fans at last year's Roskilde Festival (Denmark's premiere annual festival), the Danes color their performances with pulsating lights and a booming sound that is equally at home in rock venues, dance clubs or arenas. Subbing guitar and bass for synthesizers, Spleen inject a bounce into their melodious rock songs, which occasionally veer into atmospheric grooves before climaxing in a burst of raw energy magnified tenfold on stage.
With a powerful live show and a singular sound, it's easy to see why NME described the band's music as "rich, chunky electro-rock that leaves you feeling woozy and strangely satisfied" while LA's trendsetting BuzzBands.LA proclaimed: "the barrage of beats and sequencer scribbles will make your inner computer swoon."
