RAINBOW ARABIA

Rainbow Arabia marry electro-acoustic dance sounds and world music with the youthful energy of punk using an array of Lebanese synthesizers and drum machines, serpentine guitar lines, live percussion, and Siouxsie-esque vocals that are at times war calls while beautifully spectral at others. In fall 2008, LA label, Manimal Vinyl (Bat For Lashes, Hecuba) released their EP “the Basta”, while UK label Merok (Crystal Castles, The Teenagers, and Klaxons) released a 7" from the EP. The new Mini LP, "Kabukimono" was just released in July 2009 on Manimal Vinyl. In their brief existence, the two have toured the US with Gang Gang Dance and toured throughout Europe mesmerizing crowds with their psychedelic, tribal live show.

“The coolest thing about Rainbow Arabia is their ability to create an alternate universe around themselves and their music...their bizarre dream world seems so psychedelic, infectious, and fun that, upon hearing them, you instantly want to be part of their gang” – Dazed and Confused

“creating the kind of noise you could imagine the DFA might make had they ever decided to throw a party in the underground ruins of Egypt.” - 20jazzfunkgreats

"I kinda imagine this will be our soundtrack shortly after all the cities are destroyed in the apocalypse, and we’re nomads wandering the deserts of the world."- BigStereo.com

"Rainbow Arabia are out for your hips, and this first effort is strangely propulsive...what really sticks out are the serpentine guitar lines that slither their way through the EP, sometimes taking on the shape of post-punk spikes, garage crunch, and Edge-like delay effects" – Pitchfork
