TENEDLE
is a Composer/Songwriter, Producer, Performer and Sound Designer born in Florence (Italy) living in The Netherlands. In the second half of the ‘80s Tenedle was a member of the electronic new wave band Laughing Silence. The band breaks up in 1995 and Tenedle begins a series of collaborations and projects in the field of electronic music, visual arts and theatre, starting his “solo” career.
Since then Tenedle released 9 studio albums : Psicfreakblusbus (2003), Luminal (2005), Alter (2007) Grancassa (2010) Vulcano (2014) Ode To Love – A tribute to Emily Dickinson (2015) Traumsender (2018), The Beast of Tenedle (Songs collection 2019), Glossophobia (Soundtrack 2020), Stellar (EP 2020), Dark Traumsender (Remixes 2021), Shakespeare (Soundtrack 2022), Demetra (2023). Distinguished by a mix of songwriting, electronic music, themes from the ‘imaginary’, Tenedle’s projects have led the press to call him “a visionary songwriter” and his songs to be described as “small films”. Tenedle is a contemporary songwriter and his music is a personal universe.
Over the years he has participated in several Prizes gaining recognition both in Italy and in the Netherlands. Tenedle presents his live performances based on electronic sound and visuals with some acoustic moments and theatrical hints. Alone or with guest musicians, in the years, Tenedle performed in Italy, The Netherlands, United Kingdom, Spain, Belgium, Germany, France and Luxembourg.

 

BIRMINGHAM ELECTRIC is the brainchild of American expat singer/songwriter Andrew Evans. While working as a recording engineer in America in the 1980’s and 90’s on multi-platinum projects for other bands, Andrew amassed a body of his own unreleased synthpop and electronic post-punk work that languished in storage for decades. In 2019 Andrew connected with Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark’s Malcolm Holmes and Berlin techno guru Mark Reeder (of Factory Records and MFS Records fame) to finally bring his music to light, resulting in a series of singles and the debut album Communication, released on Believe and conzoom Records. So while in one sense Birmingham Electric’s dancey and groove-laden music is an authentic time capsule from another era, it is also informed by and updated with a modern electronic sensibility.
The band’s second full-length album, Terra Incognita, is well underway now and due for release sometime in 2025.
Birmingham Electric is a dynamic live act as well, playing festivals and clubs across Europe and the UK. Drummer André Machado, bassist Aldo Viñerta and keyboardist Lori Evans round out the BE live lineup.
