Artist description
Featuring imaginative powerhouse drumming, keyboard propelled bass and vintage organ melodies, intertwined guitars, and Silke’s strong vocals which recall, if anything, a more world weary, less glam Siouxsie Sioux, ETTM creates intricate searching pop songs, achieving that delicate balance of using familiar sounds and elements, yet presenting them in a wholly original way. |

Artist History
Formed in the summer of 2002
by Blake Fleming (ex-Laddio Bolocko, the Mars Volta),
Marcus DeGrazia (ex-Laddio Bolocko),
and German singer Silke,
ETTM sought to take the best inspiration and instrumentation
from the more creative bands of the late 60s
such as Love, the Pretty Things, and the Doors,
and update it for the new millennium.
Adding guitarist James Wilk
(ex-the Imaginary Numbers) later that year,
the band began touring the NYC club scene.
Creating instant happenings at their
performances with the inclusion of ancillary
members’ Noah Klersfeld’s live video light
show and choreographer Erin Ellen’s
modern-freak out dancing,
ETTM quickly established itself as one of downtown
New York’s hottest new bands. |

Press Reviews
The Village Voice says:
Electric Turn To Me is a sexy and songful psych-goth-pop outfit,
featuring ex-members of St. Louis post-rock/metal-noise
juggernauts the Dazzling Killmen and the sadly
missed, deconstructo acid-casualty-rockers
Laddio Bolocko.
ETTM’s swirling globs of sound reminds me of
the colorful and ornate monsters from classic
Japanese kids' shows where the costumes
were trippy and futuristic, but slightly disconcerting
—a nice pollination of old-Siouxsie,
early–Christian Death, circus-y keyb noodling
such as Pram or the Doors,
mixed with Pretty Things–type lushness.
