biographical info
Described as making music that bridges the gap between electro-pop/new wave and supercharged indie-rock, These Electric Lives play their own brand of “melodic dance rock”. TEL’s exciting and energetic live show consistently delivers uplifting and danceable anthems fueled by an intensity of honest emotion and the powerful soaring voice of lead singer Mark Stanfield.
After gaining the attention of fans and industry alike with their homemade Learn By Doing EP, the Toronto, Canada based quartet began working with Juno-nominated producer João Carvalho, releasing their critically acclaimed, self-titled debut EP in 2007. The underground hit “We Should Be Believing” charted regularly on college and internet radio stations around the globe.
These Electric Lives’ infectious and catchy songs have become increasingly popular with DJ's and producers in Canada, the US, and Europe, prompting the release of a TEL remix album in 2008. Their high energy live sets have earned them praise and the opportunity to share the stage with the likes of Boxer Rebellion (UK), Mystery Jets (UK), Asobi Seksu (NYC), Bang Lime (members of Metric) and Beast (Montreal). The band has performed on the national TV show “MTV Live” and was featured on AUX TV's “Band Foto”.
Following the success of their recently-released EP, “We See Light…” and a big win at Indie Week Canada, These Electric Lives embarked on their first ever tour of the UK and Ireland in May 2011. Stops included Dublin, Belfast, Manchester, Liverpool and London. The band was honored to headline Indie Week Ireland and to be a part of the much anticipated Canadian Blast showcase at Liverpool Sound City.
Bonerizing Records (Sweden) has just released “Tell Me”, a dance track single featuring These Electric lives with New Zealand producer Yuhei Kubo. The band is currently back in the studio working on new material for a full length These Electric Lives album slated for a spring 2012 release.
