Classic and futuristic are just two words that can describe synth-driven pop duo, Eleven:Eleven. Written by Stacy With rhythmic dance-worthy beats produced by J. Child aka. Jake, along with airy-inspired vocalist Sicca to compliment, these two synchronize their individual talent to uplift your into another level. Sicca: I began singing and training as a vocalist at an early age. I know I may have fantasized about a career in music but I don’t think I ever set it as a goal for myself. Jake: I always knew since an early age that music would be a part of my life. I never really set goals per say but I knew it would always be a part of me. Two of a kind, this melodic band popping out from Austin didn’t wait to embrace their deep-rooted connection to music, establishing more than 5 releases featured on the front page of prestigious site Acapellas4u.co.uk, making the top 10 weekly list for Bitcandy.com, and extending their music with satelliterecords.com, are just a few of their many accomplishments. This March, Eleven:Eleven announced their were to sign on with French Canadian label Cliché Musique/Universal Music Canada. They’ll soon be adding hypnotic vibes to their list of accomplishments and the music market, with the release of their fresh album Through the Veil on May 7th. Currently, they are working together on a few EP’s in-between the birth of yet another album, however they strive to fulfill their many other hobbies when they aren’t working with music. Sicca: I enjoy designing clothing. Much of what I wear on stage I make myself. Jake: Studying the mind. I read a lot about hypnosis and psychology. The Duo: The goal is to have as much time as possible to work on our music, travel and experience life. Things have changed, since their 2011 Infection EP, you won’t recognize Eleven:Eleven with Sicca’s soul-moving growth into deep enriching lyrics (and you can’t forget that ever changing hair color) nor Jake’s fluctuating tunes which intermingle and feed off Sicca’s energy. Together, they sporadically twist into each other and design an entirely unique pattern of their own, providing celestial shocks digging deep into the consciousness. Despite all of their great accomplishments up to now, they have no favorites declaring, “each experience is meaningful in it’s own way.” Fresh off SXSW, a gig at Outlander Spring Festival, and the exploding enthusiasm at Discotheque in Houston, Eleven:Eleven will find themselves in McAllen for yet another energized experience on April 26th at Opera Teatro Bar. 09 FRESH EXPOSED BACK ALLEY
