The Japanese are known to be light years ahead of Americans where
advances of technology, music and style are concerned, so maybe these
girls are onto something with their ultra-exotic synthpop as Seksu
Roba, which translates to "Sex Donkey." It’s an unsurprising name
considering their debut was released on German label "Crippled Dick Hot
Wax." Gwen Stefani should come calling any minute now, ladies. via Download.com

Seksu Roba: Hesitation

Japanese visual artist and vocalist Lun*na Menoh and Korean producer/thereminist Sukho Lee
met through Los Angeles’ underground electronic scene. Lun*na’s
background is in fashion design and performance art, which she
incorporates into the band through her unique costumes and humorous
performances. Sukho Lee’s background in classical music has helped him
to become an accomplished and respected theremin player. Theremin is an
instrument that is played without physical contact and pre-dates the
synthesizer. Sukho’s musicianship allowed him the opportunity to tour
twice with Damon Suzuki, lead singer of the legendary 60′s German psychedelic rock band CAN.
Together Lun*na and Sukho put on one of the most visually stimulating
multimedia shows around which features a large, anatomically correct
robot named Erector (created by Victor White), and far-out video
projections, in addition to their arousing music.

Seksu Roba has performed with Peaches, Electrocute, Tipsy, Fantastic Plastic Machine and Lydia Lunch, as well as label mates dj me dj you and Anubian Lights.
They have toured in Europe, Mexico, and around the U.S. West Coast, and
are planning their East Coast and West Coast tours for December 2003
and January 2004.

Pleasure Vibrations (Eenie Meenie Records) is the second album by Seksu Roba and will be released simultaneously in Europe on the Crippled Dick Hot Wax label. Like their predecessors and inspirations – Giorgio Moroder, Cabaret Voltaire, and Yellow Magic Orchestra
- Seksu Roba values a solid, danceable groove to keep things moving
while giving the listener something to ponder upon repeated listening.

Sukho Lee arranges layers of lines and hooks that evoke the beauty and elegance of works by film composers like Ennio Morricone and Michel LeGrand as well as classic Brazilian songwriters like Marcos Valle and Caetano Veloso. The breadth of styles and sounds on Pleasure Vibrations
is diverse – space disco, bossa nova, electro-funk, Latin rhythms, 60′s
pop and more-but not without direction or reason. Underlying the
seemingly disparate elements is a modern sensual sound.
