Tanzan Music is proud to introduce “Mechanical sunshine”, by HOUSTON!, a young and promising band from Piacenza, Italy.
After 2 European tours which highly increased the attention around the band due to the amazing impact of its performances, HOUSTON! are back in action with this new release, to underline that the fun is just beginning!
“Mechanical sunshine”, with its stylistic undertones, is a stepping stone in the history of the band, both a confirmation of what they developed in the past and what they can become in the near future. The powerful sound of songs like “Planet terror” and “Let me shout” perfectly blend with modern ballad tunes like “One day”, truly demonstrating the technical and artistic skills of the band in merging different styles to create a unique and absolute personal sound.
If we try to define their music we can call it sleaze, electronic Gothic, Metal and much more! An innovative blend that points to the young generation without disappointing the more traditional listeners.
The album was recorded and mixed at Elfo Studio (Piacenza – Italy) whilst the mastering was done by Mika Jussila, Senior Engineer at the renowned Finnvox Studios in Helsinki (Finland).
HOUSTON! will be touring across Europe in spring 2012.

Bio
HOUSTON! formed in 2006 as a hard rock act formed by four young musicians coming from different styles and stories, Niko, Gaby, Phil and Dave, respectively vocals, bass, guitar and drum.
In April 2008 HOUSTON! is the opening act for the Vengeance, a famous Dutch band, and due to an extraordinary live performance, demonstrating once again their natural feel for the stage, they get in touch with Erik Prins, manager of Mam Agency, starting a new collaboration. In October, following a series of gigs in the north of Italy, the band heads for the Netherlands and Belgium for its first European tour which rises a lot of attention and reaches new fans.
Back in Italy HOUSTON! start working on the tracks for the new album “Mechanical sunshine”. When the new drummer Nello joins the band the music becomes more articulate and complex, the vocals become more aggressive making the perfect pair with the blistering guitar riffs.
At the end of April 2009 the band is once again on tour across Europe raising positive reactions and expanding the number of band’s fans. Most of the gigs are sold out!
After the tour the band signs with Tanzan Music for the release of the long awaited album “Mechanical sunshine” which is available since summer 2011.
