Amidst our 80's born generation dripping with Care Bear nostalgia, bright dancing high tops, and mythological creature themed shirts much much too small, there are but a few characters out there as steeped in the flagrant neon of 25 years ago as Pink Noise.
If you ever had a hard time finding an animal print shirt, jacket, pair of pants or earring (for whatever reason you were looking), blame these three guys – they collectively put Cruella Deville and Montgomery Burns to shame. (Except they're not evil and they like dancing, not killing animals).
Behind a wall of pure synthesizers, fog machines and the deep Dave Gahanesque echoing vocals of Viktor Nova, these three quite literally shake the walls, bass booming, guitars wailing and lights flashing. They make a dance floor of their surroundings like water turned to wine. It doesn't matter that New Wave was new two decades ago, these kids still do it right.
Catch this nouvelle vague at one of their local shows before they explode into a flurry of leopard print and neon fog!
Pink Noise is a band that will make you believe.
