EXPANDIS
Formed in 1980 Expandis were early pioneers of the 'electro' sound. Unusually for this genre the band also featured a strong psychedelic guitar presence. Every gig was an 'event' with artists, musicians, poets, dancers, performance artists and story tellers joining in to make each show unique !
After 3 years of intense creativity the core members found themselves living in 3 separate time zones with a 20 year wait for technology to catch up !
Inspired by punk / new wave / experimental bands such as the brilliant New York innovators 'Suicide' and the more mainstream 'Talking Heads' as well as the obvious 'Kraftwerk', 'D.A.F.' and 'Yellow Magic Orchestra' connection.
A high energy live show coupled with a desire to break down some boundaries with the lyrics and music.
After a 23 year break from live performance Expandis have returned on a new mission to present nearly 100 songs and 15 video's much of which has never been seen or heard before plus new versions of old favourites !
..... join in and enjoy !!
