Why am I posting a Mercedes commercial? a) It features the music of Alice In Videoland , who are awesome and deserve all the exposure in the world. b) It's been a long day, I'm really tired and can't be arsed with mucking around doing long music posts. c) Again, I like giving AiV exposure! The track is 'Something New' from AiV's current album, 'A Million Thoughts And They're [...]

"I want something different" My god, how did this happen? Alice In Videoland released their newest album nearly three months ago and I'm just now discovering this news! Of course, it was a digital only release, but that's still no excuse. I'm behind the curve on this one. Alice In Videoland was one of the very first bands I featured on this blog (with their brilliant track, Emily -- still my favorite). They've remained remarkably consistent throughout their career and, though I haven't had a chance to give the new album the full attention [...]
See, we told you we were going to tart up our end of year lists! Welcome to the electronic rumors awards! I really have a love/hate relationship with these lists. On the one hand I love looking back at the very best music that was released in the past 12 months but I hate sifting them down to just 20. So I make a list, give it a couple of days to settle, see if there's anything I missed or if I want to change my mind, to make sure I have ranked things 'cos I [...]

~ Alice In Videoland - "Spaceship" ~ From the new album A Million Thoughts And They're All About You .
Long-time readers of electronic rumors should be no strangers to Swedish ElectroPunk outfit Alice In Videoland (they even made our top 20 tracks of 2009 !), they are one band we can't help but get enthusiastic about. Some exiting news, then, coming out of AiV HQ, the guys are finalizing the recording of new material and are gearing up for the release of a brand new single! 'Spaceship' is one of the most commercial tracks to come out of the AiV camp (despite the lyrical content), but [...]

Colossal forces are in movement this weekend... ...despite my epic cold straight out of Midnights Children . Tonight: Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/event. php?eid=124563559681 First out is the Sweden's new party community WOWOW presenting nobody less then Alice in Videoland and my main man Bacid from Detroit Calling on the Turntables. Tomorrow: If you going out just one night this weekend, make sure to check this one. [...]
This has really made my day! The almighty Alice In Videoland have dropped a new track, the first new material since 2008's 'She's a Machine', and it's classic AiV! 'Psychobitch' see a return to the electronic Pop-Punk of the 'Outrageous!' album over the more EBM influenced last album, and that is no bad thing! With heavy bass, screaming synths and some really punky vocals from Toril, its good to have this riotous, Electro rockin', badass AiV back! I don't want to repeat myself but Alice In Videoland really put other bands who [...]
Sweden's Alice In Videoland easily rank as one of my all time favourite bands, describing them isn't easy as no-one is doing anything quite like them. A lot of bands use the term Electro-Punk, but it seems to mean something different to each if them. If you ask me, the band that really deserves the title is AiV, Rather than just being some sort of shock-Electro or Minimal-Techno-with-funky-hair styles act, they actually make Punk songs (well, Pop-Punk) with electronics. Take the best in female fronted Pop-Punk, from No Doubt all the way back to Blondie, [...]

Alice in Videoland hit us up with their single 'Who's That Boy.' Little did their manager noticed, we first featured Alice in Videoland back in May when their LP She's A Machine! was first released. Alice in Videoland - Who's That Boy Give the rest of their album over at their myspace a listen to, and if you fancy it be sure to pick it up!
Swedish Showcase, together with help from the Swedish Institute, is sending a group of Swedish acts to Belarus in order to "inspire and develop the Belarusian music scene, its artists and organizers." The acts participating: I Love You Baby! , Alice in Videoland , Paris and Pluxus . Dates and details: http://www.swedishshowcase.com /belarus/

If you're a frequent reader of this blog , or a lot of other blogs you probably already know that heavy and guitar and electro go really fucking well together (we can thank SebastiAn or Justice for helping us understand that). Sweden's Alice in Videoland has embraced this concept. Heavier electro with some slow metal guitars and a bitchy punk vocalist bring together a pretty aggressive head banging experience. Alice's full length "She's A Machine" can be picked up worldwide from their myspace or [...]

Inspired by Emo- Kip, I decided to make my own mixtape - a Swedish one, to prove once and for all that we do have more to offer than ABBA, IKEA, cold weather and a (rather) high suicide rate. So gather around children, and enjoy a feast of Swedish music. Side A Laakso - "In My Blood" Alice In Videoland - "Ladykiller" [...]
Alice in Videoland , in Skandinavien schon seit Jahren bekannte Newcomer, sind hierzulande trotz verstärkten Radioeinsatzes beim Radio meines Vertrauens doch noch recht unbekannt. Was wohl auch an mangelnder Livepräsenz und der Tatsache, dass es ihr 2003 erschienenes Debütalbum lange Zeit nur als Import zu kaufen gab, liegen dürfte. Das Re-Release des Albums "Maiden Voyage" erscheint nun beim kanadischen Label Artoffact Records und ist nach Aussage des Labels erneut nicht für den deutschen Markt vorgesehen. Was ich persönlich sehr schade finde. Dafür dürfen wir aber einen der Songs hier zum Download anbieten. Vielleicht ein kleines Trostpflaster für [...]
