The Bloody Beetroots came roaring out of Bassano del Grappa, Italy, in late 2005 as the electronic project of producer Bob Rifo, who also answers to Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo. At first it was a DJ duo, Rifo plus Tommy Tea, making dance music with a punk's bad manners: synth-punk, dance-punk and electro house mashed together until the distortion itself became the hook.
Romborama, from 2009, is the one that crossed over to the countdowns, with "Warp 1.9" and "Awesome" both slipping onto rock radio, a neat trick for a record built to detonate club floors. The beats clatter and lurch, the synths snarl like overdriven amps, and there's a real guitar in the arsenal too, which helps explain how this stuff got past the rock gatekeepers.
Tommy Tea was gone by 2012. Hide followed in 2013, with "Chronicles of a Fallen Love" as its countdown entry, and along the way the Beetroots' records went out through Dim Mak, Ultra and Last Gang.
