  Seksu
roba is a Japanese-Korean-American electronic music
group based in Los Angeles. Using theremin, mini-moog,
and micro-processor based technology, they create
space groove electro-love vibrations that expand the
mind and libido while massaging the soul - provocative
pop and instrumental music that can be appreciated
by electronic music fans, DJ's, pop music fans, and
anyone who just enjoys fun, eclectic music.
Seksu Roba features Japanese artist/ designer/ vocalist
Lun*na Menoh and Korean producer/ thereminist Sukho
Lee, plus guest vocalists. The two met through Los
Angeles' underground electronic scene.
Lun*na's background is in visual arts: fashion design/art,
painting, installations, etc. which she has incorporated
into the band through her unique costume and conceptual
art.
Sukho Lee's background is in classical music which
helped him learn the theremin (a strange instrument
that pre-dates the synthesizer and is played without
touching). Sukho's musicianship has allowed him the
opportunity to tour with Damo Suzuki - former lead
singer of the legendary German 60's progressive rock
band, CAN.
Together, Lun*na and Sukho put on an arousing live
show with Lun*na on synth, vocals and other surprises,
and Sukho on synth and theremin. Also commonly featured
are a dancing robot, Erector (designed by Victor White),
who tends to shock audiences with his large endowment,
and bizarre video projections. Their stimulating multi-dimensional
live experience has helped earn the group a nomination
for Best Electronic Dance Artist for The LA Weekly
Music Awards 2003 and 2004
Seksu Roba was featured in the 2003 South By Southwest
music showcase in Austin, Texas and has performed
with Peaches, Tipsy, Fantastic Plastic Machine, Lydia
Lunch, as well as label-mates DJ Me DJ You and Anubian
Lights. They've toured in Europe, Mexico and around
the U.S. west coast. The debut self-titled album was
released in 2000 by German label Crippled Dick Hot
Wax! - best known for re-issuing 60's European sexploitation
soundtracks like "Vampyros Lesbos" - and
was well received for its references to such psychedelic
cinema and diversity in sound sampling.
Seksu Roba released their second album, Pleasure
Vibrations on Eenie Meenie Records, and continue to
tour and release new songs and remixes on compilations
and singles. Look out for a new album in the works
now!
The future looks lovely and bright,
despite what everyone thinks,
and Seksu Roba wants you to hear
how beautiful and sensual it will sound... today! |
