Artist History flying virgins was originally, an experimental net based band consisting of two members: Filip and Søren. The whole concept of the project originally called "Flying Virgins Incorporated", was to make music without actually being on the same physical location. Filip made a drum-track, Søren made a guitar track and so on and vice versa. However, it was'nt quite good enough, SO, in early 2001, we evolved to a physical band, adding a drummer (Peter), and later on Jens (bass) and Jonas (keyboards). The inspirations to the sound we make are many, and broad in style. Many people has drawn parralels between us and bands like: mercury rev, sparklehorse, sneaker pimps, the cure, arab strap, sonic youth and mogwai. The focus is on pure melodies, without any kind of prejudice, and pretentiousness. One song crackled with hiss and small weird sounds, another filled with thick distorted guitar, and yet another just clean. Early 2002, we signed a contract with the record company: Quartermain, and we'll be recording an album early summer this year.
