Biography
Birthrite are from the Black Country, and do hard edged Steampunk. Steampunk offers diversity, vintage style and non-conformity. We splice this up with energy and electric guitars. This is a fully electric band and this is a hard edged sound in the 21st Century with the exuberance and imagination of the 19th.
Originally formed in 2008 by Erazamus Voss and Johnny Zygen, who had previously worked on several collaborations, they were joined in 2010 by Mark Thinsliced, who was looking for a Steampunk band with teeth. The newest member of the band is drummer Dr. Perkin Zephaniah, who joined in 2014.
Birthrite are highly visual, aurally eclectic, provide an energetic live show, and put 120% into everything.
The past will reclaim the future.

VUDUVOX(F/BE)
https://www.facebook.com/vuduvox/
White noise, black light, cyber-larsen: VUDUVOX are a tense two-piece, forging radical electro groove with an attitude and politically un-correct lyrics whose motto could best be summed up as “no compromise, no surrender !”
Originating from rainy post-industrial Flanders, their pulsing bass sequences and minimal drum lines compete with electro-perx, android guitar riffs and angst-ridden vocals. But VUDUVOX are no clones and simply offer the sound of things to come. Needless to say, these two arrogant bastards are rather too cold, raw and uncompromising for the mellow French scene.
