SHORTPARIS - ONMENS

"Ambitious, bombastic, incredibly pretentious, erotic, thrilling, impossible to pin down, vaguely deviant, fun to dance to and full of revolutionary potential"

Formed in Saint Petersburg, in 2012. It’s music is experiment-orientated. Live performances of the band are beyond the scope of the musical concerts, they look more like performative practices of the contemporary art. Impugning the system of the club concerts, "Shortparis" actively performs at unprepared venues: abandoned industrial buildings, open grocery stores and etc.

The band poses itself as an opposition to the modern musical scene. Living through its loneliness, the band sets its sight on finding original musical and art solutions.

The band broke up in the autumn, 2020, soon after the musicians had fulfilled their ambitions, and had decided to dedicate themselves to farmery.

ONMENS

Forged in the filth on the floor after the collapse of Belgiums rave-generation, Onmens sets out to violently beat the party back into electronic music. With influences varying from techno over Hardcore to noise and punk, the duo pushes buttons with their deliberately left-field sound. Onmens seeks to keep you dancing immersed in a trancelike state while blood gushes from both earholes. Their tracks are the soundtrack made for that time of night when the mask comes off and the senses start failing.
