LOTO feat. PETER HOOK - "Cuckoo Plan"

LOTO are a new synth band from Portugal, the same sunny land that produced synth-rockers X-WIFE. Their new album is called "Beat Riot" and it features contributions from JOY DIVISION/NEW ORDER legend Peter Hook, as well as Del Marquis of SCISSOR SISTERS. I can never resist a band that uses a Korg.

Here's the new single "Cuckoo Plan", featuring Peter Hook:

X-WIFE Rocks!

X-WIFE, a synth-punk band from Portugal are a band to watch. I'm really digging the track "Ping Pong" from the recent new album "Side Effects". Check them out this weekend in New York, or next week at South By Southwest (if you're so lucky).
