PINE*AM: The Isotope's New Favorite Band

Delicous Videogame Bleeps and Techno Beats
PINE*AM @ The Makeout Room 5/24/05

If you can imagine what vintage synthesizer gods Kraftwerk would sound like if they were transformed into three cute Japanese girls who made 8-bit Nintendo influenced retro-click-pop gems of pure, undiluted bliss... then you can understand why the Isotope is head over heels about PINE*AM. Chances are if you've walked in the front door of the Isotope for the past month you've heard the staff talking amongst ourselves about our industrial strength love for PINE*AM, or you've heard us spinning our preview copy of their soon-to-be-released "Pull The Rabbit Ears" album on a near endless loop.

Hailing from Osaka, Japan, the alternate-dimentional Devos of PINE*AM take swirling sonic landscapes, android drum loops, low frequency bass, old school synthesizer bleeps, catch-laden guitar hooks, and airy three-part harmonies to create digital music bubbles of irresistible goodness. Dressed in 60's style uniforms of black and hot pink, the PINE*AM trio combine sexy-nerdy comic book esthetics with dorky-hip computer game sounds in a way that couldn't make the Isotope staff happier. For sonic proof of PINE*AM's brilliance take a listen to Gymnopedie 0.1, Far Star Lover, Hidden A, and Space Tug [departure from universe2].

See them live Tuesday night:

PINE*AM @ The Make Out Room
3225 22nd Street
May, 24 2005

Watch for them on G4 TV's Attack of The Show on May 27th and catch their first US release "Pull The Rabbit Ears" from Eenie Meenie Records out May 31st!
