Their respective new albums in tow, A Thousand Fuegos and Mile Me Deaf embark on a 7 nation European tour. Shows are set for Germany, UK, Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Poland, Austria, Czech Rep and Slovakia. In spring A Thousand Fuegos released his landmark synth pop album “The Treachery Of Things” on Seayou & Fettkakao Records while Mile Me Deaf unleashed the rock ‘n’ roll monster “Eat Skull” via Siluh & Fettkakao Records. Both have been praised by press and fans alike and urged the musicians to cross borders and prove to be just as good on stage as on record.
A Thousand Fuegos
A Thousand Fuegos’ electronic style is neither hip nor urban. It is as rural as the place The Treachery Of Things has been written and recorded at: an abandoned house in the picturesque countryside of southern Austria. These three months in reclusion gave the album the feeling of a thought process as the emergence of an idea between churches, forests and shabby floral wallpaper. In this manner, The Treachery Of Things is a concept album. Beats, loops and spacey synths lay the foundation for the lyrical examination of the “Treachery Of Things”: the notion that we can never grasp the true identity of the things around us so that we have to set them free. A Thousand Fuegos is a wall of sound experience, not as in ‘overwhelming noise’ but as in delicately interweaved textures that urge to discover something new with each and every listen.

Mile Me Deaf
Mile Me Deaf is first and foremost 27 year old Wolfgang Möstl, living and working in Vienna. Wolfgang is a key figure in Austria’s noise pop scene; involved in bands like Killed By 9V Batteries, Sex Jams and Goldsoundz he integrates experimental sounds, homemade instruments, and his love for 90s shoegaze into pop context. He has collaborated with Austrian techno pioneer and Hercules and Love Affair producer Patrick Pulsinger, as well as Dutch luthier Yuri Landmann, who has designed unique guitars for Sonic Youth, Blood Red Shoes and Liars. Always driven by a strong DIY approach, Wolfgang Möstl runs his own music label, Numavi Records, offering a platform to musical experiments, temporary side-projects and friends in artistic crime. In addition he has created much of the artwork for his projects and videos, and lately has become a demanded producer within the local indie and noise scene. Alongside his intense involvement in various bands and artistic projects, Wolfgang kept writing songs on his own and filed them under “Mile Me Deaf ” on his desktop computer. Within 9 years, about 500 partially recorded songs piled up there, and were infrequently made available on CD-Rs, cassettes, and even floppy discs at live shows. Only in 2010 did the first official 7-inch release as Mile Me Deaf see the light of day on the charming arts and music label Fettkakao, making Mile Me Deaf a “serious” and full grown band. Backed up by two members of befriended band Sex Jams, the first offical album “Eat Skull” was recorded with all brand new songs – no dated archived material – now released jointly via Siluh Records and Fettkakao June 1st, 2012.
