Mouse on Mars is one of the few electronic bands to stand the test of time. Constantly reinventing themselves, they have taken electronica to new heights with a unique blend of sound annihilation, fragmented melodies and an impassioned hatred of conformity. For nearly two deacades, Andi Toma and Jan St. Werner have sweated over burning consoles to create a new musical language, only to twist it again into thousands of myriad distortions.
Mouse On Mars’ sound links them to the club-music scene, as do their many remixes and collaborations with members of the dance-music world. Yet their association with the formalized and utilitarian world of dance music is ironic, as the band’s raison d’etre is to place electronic flies in any aural ointment they choose to muck through. 2012 will see a new Mouse on Mars once again.
Their upcoming LP Parastrophics is a thriving vision of the other side of experimental music. Discordance turns into pop as Alice in Wonderland bounces her booty to laser bass sounds, the likes of which would make Walt Disney jealously ponder the question, “Why didn’t I think of that?!” Parastrophics is glamorous, funky and deep. No speakers exist that could display all the details of such manic production.

My boyfriend LURVS Matmos. He’s been talking about this show for weeks now, but hasn’t got off his booty to get tix yet! If I can surprise him with tickets, we’ll both be having a lucky night :)
Floating Golden dogs that grove to the ELECTRONIC vibes. MOUSE ON MARS makes MUSIC that sparkles with imagination, i want to go to this place!
I loved the last Matmos show I saw! Would really like to see them with Mouse on Mars.
Love both bands, and I am poor.
I love to see shows and want to see a lot more electronica this year than it’s been my custom.
On a budget, 9-5ing in Redmond. Would like to spend the ticket money toward a cozy cab home rather than bustle downtown to catch the last 545 bus at 12AM.
Hi, sorry for the double post – wasn’t trying to game – just didn’t see that my first one went through when I checked before.
Congratulations Shannon!
