Midnight Juggernauts came out of Melbourne in 2004, Andrew Szekeres, Vincent Vendetta and Daniel Stricker making electronic rock for people who like their dance music with a sci-fi soundtrack attached. Critics tried everything to pin them down, from prog dance with a cosmic film score to disco for slasher flicks, and none of it quite stuck, which was the point.
They cut their teeth on a string of 7-inch and 12-inch singles and limited-edition EPs, including 2006's Secrets of the Universe, whose "Tombstone" made it onto rock radio. The debut album, Dystopia, followed in 2007, and "Into the Galaxy" beamed them further out: throbbing synths, a pounding kick drum and vocals that sound like a transmission from a distant planet. Festivals and headline tours around the world kept them busy into 2008.
The Crystal Axis arrived in mid-2010 and Uncanny Valley in mid-2013 after a break. Individually, the members have lent a hand to Kevin Parker, Justice, Solange Knowles and Sebastian Tellier, and they ran their own label, Siberia Records, which put out their music alongside acts such as Kirin J. Callinan and Forces.
