There are at least two bands with this name: a German duo drawing from several genres including Electronica, Noise, Chanson, Modern Classical and Krautrock, and a band from New Zealand influenced by bands like The Fall, Pixies, Nirvana, Sonic Youth, and Pavement. 1. Audiac is a German Duo active from 1999. Their highly acclaimed debut “Thank You For Not Discussing The Outside World” (2003) was produced by Hans-Joachim Irmler of the German Krautrock band Faust. The music of Audiac is characterized by Niklas David’s ethereal, heavily deconstructed keyboards, and Alex Wiemer’s distinctive vocals. Audiac’s music draws from several disparate genres including Electronica, Noise, Chanson, Modern Classical and Krautrock. The majority of lyrics deal with topics such as aloofness, authenticity, coolness, honesty, reality, dream and lust. www.audiac.net 2. Melbourne based band Audiac were formed in Dunedin, New Zealand in 1994. Dunedin-formed, Melbourne-based outfit Audiac have gone through somewhat of a turbulent history to reach their present incarnation. The brainchild of Andrew Schraa, Audiac’s initial manifestation was short and fraught – whoever said putting two brothers in a band was a bad idea was right, as the band was shaken by arguments and tension. In truth, it wasn’t until Andrew moved to London to play with fellow Dunedin-based band Spa that Audiac began to find their footing. It was in this breeding ground that Andrew decided to resurrect Audiac, and promptly set about recording a handful of tracks that would go on to form the crux of Audiac’s debut album No Come Down. Moving to Melbourne to finish the album, Andrew (guitar, vocals) met guitarist Nic Pallett. After a quick trip back to NZ, Andrew returned to find Nic had the new line up assembled and ready to go. With Melbournian Malcolm McMahon on drums and bassist Michael Christian joining the fold, the band have set about taking Audiac to the next stage and onto the Australian consciousness. www.echobaserecords.com - www.audiac.com.au - www.myspace.com/audiacuk User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License and may also be available under the GNU FDL.
