"A middle-paced electro pop pumper with the familiar airy swirl of femme robotics in the chorus. It's a weird one of those things, but Lithuanian lead singer Green pronounces the word as "techno-logy" and it really makes the song. Suitably cool and surprisingly clever dance music"
(Green, the vocalist is actually from New Zealand, the drummer is Lithuanian) - Beat Magazine
Artist: THE GREENMATICS
Title: Out Of Limbo
Format: CD+DVD
Rated: 5 stars
Australian trio, The Greenmatics, find the solace of the simplicity of retro 80's for their ep debut. A classic for anyone who appreciates synth-pop/electro-pop. The good vibrations are picked up by female frontwoman Green. "I Love Technology" is the opening track. A catchy tune with Gordo's unique dark bassline feel. The next track is "Wait No More", another retro 80's vibe with a vintage synth sound. The modern tracks "Talk" and "Greentea" captures today's modern electro-pop, the way it's arranged. The beat on each track is indeed well striking performed tremendously because of the way Antanas plays the electronic drum set with an energetic thrust. You may think it's a drum machine programmed, but it's played live. Antanas plays a catchy beat that will have you dancing. The ep is very poppy with a sense of humor. The band is serious and mean business. All the while though, each tracks develop its own identity with synths, sequencers, bass, and beat all blend in one form.
Their dvd feature all four of their tracks in mp3 file, magazine and radio interview, bio and their videos "I Love Technology", which is directed by the band themselves and have an 80's effect appeal and the animated "Wait No More" on the level of a video game approach.
Nothing but club and radio hits this band is offering. Enjoy this cd and dvd and you'll be glad you did. This band is worth a listen. - Donovan Tate - Gothique Factory

Bio
Live electro pop superheroes 'The Greenmatics' are back with their brand new single 'She Fell So Well'.
Hailing from all over the world, the band stumbled across each other in Melbourne, Australia in 2006 and the trio has been rocking venues across Australia and New Zealand since.
In New Zealand 'The Greenmatics' had four singles reach number 1 in various Top 10 Radio countdowns. They received a nomination for ‘Most Promising New Act’ in the 2005 bNet Music Awards and had their number 1 hit Wait No More remixed by Ryan Beehre (Minuit, Funkn Slocuts) and a tour of New Zealand led to nationwide television coverage.
With this success still fuelling her, Green (Mel Smith) needed to get out of her Christchurch bedroom and into the big bad world. She headed for Australia with a synth under her arm and a love for her music driving her to break the Australian market.
In Melbourne, she found 2 musical soul mates and formed an electro band with the personality, beats and knowledge to break the big city. They made an appearance on Circuit Breakers Vol.1 put out by NSW based Light Sounds and released their Out of Limbo EP. Onstage, they acquired plenty of retro electro gear, and have been cutting some seriously groundbreaking live shows.
Now back from their East Coast Tour of Australia, 'The Greenmatics' are currently working on their debut album with Brian Canham (Pseudo Echo frontman), due for release in 2009.
Are you excited? They are.
