ELECTRIC EMPIRE
Formed in early 2009 in Melbourne, Electric Empire is the collaboration of accomplished musicians Aaron Mendoza, Denis Dowlut and Jason Heerah. Influenced by the raw sounds of the 60’s and 70’s RnB and Soul music revolution, their self-titled debut album exudes organic and soulful melodies reminiscent of the classics of Al Green, Stevie Wonder or Curtis Mayfield. Electric Empire is playing in Sydney on New Year’s Day for the High Flyers Little Secret Party and in Melbourne 14 January 2011 at the Prince of Wales for the Bamboos 10th Anniversary.
They say Soul is from the heart, sung from the heart and written from the heart. For the new year, they are going to keep writing, being creative and keeping true to their style of music. They are also thinking overseas markets such as London and America. They love Europe which is very open to bands doing experimental niche music.
