Imperative Reaction

Over the past few years, Imperative Reaction has honed its explosive live

performances through extensive touring supporting VNV Nation, Combichrist,

Covenant and Tiger Army as well as appearing at the legendary Wave Gothic

Treffen Festival in Germany, The Reverance Festival in Madison, Wisconsin,

Motorpop3 Festival in Detroit and headlining the second night of The Black Sun

Festival in the New Haven, CT.

In 2006, the previous standard IR set with 04's Redemption was shattered with

the release of their fourth album As We Fall, which was a triumphant, cohesive

effort from start to finish. Emotionally driven vocals, punchier bass lines, and

driving synths masterfully blended to display the growth of this phenomenal

young act. Drawing from influences ranging everywhere from AFI and Nine Inch

Nails to modern EBM and noise, this album stands as a cathartic dance floor

classic.

2008 promises to be an even bigger year for IR as they write and record their

5th studio album and get ready to set out on the road in September with a new

live setup and band.

[:SITD:]

2008 marks [:SITD:]'s inaugural highly-anticipated North American tour.

Bone-crunching beats and apocalyptical electro hymns are brought together in a

very energetic live performance. Hailing from Germanys real industrial

heartland, the former coal and steel centers of the Ruhr area, [:SITD:] made a

name for itself a while ago, and can be counted amongst the most acclaimed

electronic projects of the present international club scene.

Aesthetic Perfection

Hailing originally from Los Angeles and now Salzburg, Austria, Aesthetic

Perfection breathes new life into EBM. Ranging from pounding Electro beats to

melodic IDM textures, their first release "Close to Human" explores

the depths of what makes you human. Aesthetic Perfection have played with

acclaimed acts as Assemblage23, Combichrist and Fixmer/McCarthy.

Definitely looking forward to checking out Imperative again, along with the much-anticipated S.I.T.D and AP. Working on an afterparty for the show as we speak

Here's some info on the new Imperative Reaction CD "Minus All"

Los Angeles-based Imperative Reaction return with "Minus All", the follow up to their highly acclaimed 2006 release "As We Fall". Never one to stagnate musically, Ted Phelps, the man behind IR, has been evolving musically since the band's inception, from the early days as a distorted electro outfit to the cleaner, more polished sound on the classic release "Redemption".

Having spent much of the past two years touring the world with acts such as VNV Nation, Covenant and Combichrist, Imperative Reaction has not let their growing successes affect their sense of musical integrity. "Minus All" combines the purely electronic feel of their last two albums and expands upon this, with thirteen tracks of unbridled aggression. Whether aimed at the dance floor, or darker and more brooding in nature, IR's intoxicating mix of driving, urgent melodies and anthemic vocals will continue to win over fans worldwide.

Got an advance of the new Imperative CD "Minus All" and can't stop listening to it. The new songs show even more maturity and fine tuning. Going to be an excellent show.

Reports from other shows on this tour have been very positive. Head on out Detroit and show your support.
