ABOUT US
In a genre defined by precise approaches, Canada’s Paulo Sinski Microband shoots from the hip, cranking out raucous electronic tunes which would be right at home with acts like LCD Soundsystem, The Fall and The Knife.
Along with drummer Hector Alonso, Microband pushes the limits of an 'electronic' performance, embracing on-stage chaos and total technical failure as a way of life.
Microband's first (and only) single PPE/LFO was released on Toronto boutique label Cosmic Resonance Records in 2020. They cut their teeth as a live act over the following 4 years, while intermittently working on their follow up EP, Circuit Burners (release tba 2025).
Expect a mess of tangled wires, blasts of strobe light and punk authority - coming to a sweaty basement near you. They're not boring.
