Designed from the ground up to be nothing short of excessive and provocative, the Pinup Saints’ act is unequivocal in execution and maintains the true spirit of rock and roll, living to the extreme.
Once they hit the stage, one can tell that a movement is happening; a perennial, life-changing, cathartic piece of performance art had entered the presence of those that would accept the danger and truth within themselves.
The ensemble steals the stage. A lackluster MC can destroy a vibe with only a few words and that was almost the case. However, a group as talented as Pinup Saints only needed to break into their first song to rid themselves of such a curse. From the second they hit stage the audience was entranced, their music beginning an adventure that can be navigated by holding on for dear life. Their show, even from early on, can only be described as pure sex and rock, a bright shining beacon in a world that would beg one to ignore such a liberating spectacle.
Singers Raul and Wynn are powerful, for most of the show they are the centrepiece during some of the frenetic numbers. If anything has the ability to open up a dark, clouded mind then these majestic creatures are two of the best. Their voices are incredibly strong, whipping off high notes that would wake even the deepest comatose human. This is quickly contrasted by the time they spend dropping lower tones and slower notes, pushing the already soul-crunching music down into a storm of sweltering passion.
We all want to feel something in life; some of us want to feel numb, some of us want to ride a rollercoaster everyday. When it comes to Pinup Saints, it can be unequivocally said that they love their craft, there is so much passion poured into their live show that it would be almost impossible not to feel every single bead of sweat that they put into themselves. To define their show in one word is impossible, they evoke so much out of their crowd that you leave the venue feeling as though you were part of something much bigger than yourself, you feel as though you’ve become part of life for the first time. - Fazer magazine

Bio
Pinup Saints
PINUP SAINTS are an undeniable oddity of the music world. They create without the use of conventional routes, standards or barriers.
Their signature electropop sound was the result of a Montreal born songwriter/ producer discovering a New York singer/choreographer/musician at one of their shows. With Raul and Wynn coming together, "GOLDEN" was launched independently, under Manina Productions, in April 2009.
Their new EP, titled "Helluva", released in August 2010 marks a strong evolution of their sound into pop and is set to be released as a free download on their website and can also be found on iTunes. The "Helluva" EP contains simply addictive songs that fall under the pop umbrella without losing their edge. Wynn and RaRa have combined their uninhibited lyrics with a synth driven sound with the intention to make pop cool again.
Their music has been compared to Yeah Yeah Yeahs meets Prince: Uninhibited lyrics and interesting harmonies meets great pop beats with a good dose of electronica. “We don’t really sound like anyone else. It’s something that we’ve invented” says Raul, singer and music producer of the Pinup Saints.
"Once they hit the stage, one can tell that a movement is happening. When it comes to Pinup Saints, it can be unequivocally said that they love their craft, there is so much passion poured into their live show that it would be almost impossible not to feel every single bead of sweat that they put into themselves.
