In the last 3 years autoKratz have developed a reputation for being one of the finest live acts in electronic music. They have recently taken their exhilarating show yet further, starting 2010 with a brand new set up. Now joined by drummer Robin Rigoulet, the 3 piece will take to the road from the Spring for club shows and festivals across the globe.
Last year saw band complete a world tour of over 200 shows, the highlights of which included scoring one of the top 10 biggest selling electronic albums in Japan, where they toured with THE PRODIGY. As part of this mammoth tour they have also played rapturous festival sets at Pukkelpop, Lowlands, Solidays, Parklife Australia, Dour and second headline to Underworld on Sunday at GLADE FESTIVAL.
Since taking Europe by storm, and playing such a prestigious festival circuit, the band are now bringing their big beats and infectious melodies to the United States, set with their trademark rock and roll energy and a remarkably distinctive electro sound - a recipe which has seen them touted as one of the most significant live electronic acts to have emerged in recent years, being compared to legendary acts such as Underworld, Depeche Mode, and The Prodigy. autoKratz are definitely ones not to miss this Spring.
