Bio:
High-octane electronic NYC duo SERVICES gear up for the February 2008 release of their second single and forthcoming May release of their EP off the indie imprint A Touch Of Class Recordings.
SERVICES are TRZTN and Christopher Pravdica, former members of the well-known noise rock outfit Flux Information Sciences (Young God Records). Resolute in creating challenging high-concept music, the two deliver an impressive live show of smart, stop-and-go, machine gun fire of beats and sample driven rock played in real time without a sequencer.
In 2005 SERVICES signed with A Touch of Class Recordings, a label mostly known for their up-to-the-moment dance music, and released their debut album titled Your Desire Is My Business, co-produced and mixed by DJ/production duo A Touch Of Class (a.k.a. ATOC) and legendary producer Roli Mosiman (The The, Faith No More, New Order).
In May 2006 SERVICES blasted audiences at All Tomorrow's Parties Festival before joining the Yeah Yeah Yeahs for several shows in the UK. In conjunction with the UK tour, Services released their first 12" single "Element of Danger."
Steve Aoki listed "Element of Danger" as one of the best tracks of 2006 and has subsequently licensed it for his January 2008 compilation "Pillowface and His Airplane Chronicles".
Throughout 2007 SERVICES continued to tour abroad. In the summer they embarked on their first US 22-city tour alongside hailed indie synth-pop band The Faint.
SERVICES' second single "Presenter" will be released in March 2008 along with the "Presenter" video directed by Barney Clay (Outkast, Franz Ferdinand, OK Go).
SERVICES' anticipated EP, featuring new tracks as well as remixes by Zongamin and Nick Zinner (of Yeah Yeah Yeahs), will be released in May 2008.
