Hey, we're the Voltaire Twins.

We're a band from Perth.

Our new song 'Solaris' was banned from YouTube. See it here instead:https://vimeo.com/47939831 (Warning: NSFW).

In early 2012, we travelled to the US and Canada for SXSW and Canadian Music Week. You should have been there - it was amazellent! Since then we've done a national tour with San Cisco, supported The Maccabees and Van She and are about to do our own national tour to launch our new EP, Apollo.

Apollo was produced by Matt Gio, our drummer, who has also recently produced some cool stuff for San Cisco and Split Seconds, and was mixed by Lars Stalfors (The Mars Volta/Cold War Kids/Matt & Kim).

Last year our song 'Animalia' music debuted on the US indie dance charts at #1. The video was voted #7 in 2011's Rage 50.

Great new tune, Twins! You've continued on with the bouncy synth production but it gets right to the point with a sweet pop charm.
