We have been called the Prodigy meets Rammstein, breakbeat, metal, dance, crossover, industrial, you call it what you want it, but we call it ENGINE ELEVEN!

Artist History Robert E James, Vikis Botor and Sydney Mae know each other since their high school days, and each have been involved in various musical projects in the past up until now. Vikis was approached to do a cover of a track called 'Black Romance', from the band 'Life to Us' who were gonna put this out on cd across the Netherlands. As he didn't really see fit to do the version with his band 'Dagoba System', and he was already talking with Robert E James to form a new group, he went to REJ and told him about the cover/remix and the idea of doing it together. Sydney Mae was then pulled in, friend of both REJ and Vikis and also playing in various other bands. What happened was a very energetic collaboration, and we were very pleased with the results! With REJ on the synths, vocals, programming and production parts, Vikis on guitar, Sydney Mae on bass and (additional) vocals, it proved to be a winning combination. So, it has since then been decided to stay together as this formation, we have also gained 2 members, who are additional (but unmissable!) for our live performances. MR-10 on guitarrz, and Curley on drums. At the moment we're working away hard to finish our debut cd, and things are already soundins totally awesome...... hold your breath!!
