Artist History In 1987 a group of computer hackers, cyberpunks and technophiles implemented an underground electronic information system. "Nexus Seven", (operating as a Bulletin Board System and long before the Internet came to public knowledge), provided the medium for four people of similar interests and beliefs to meet. Using the most rudimentary elements of the technology available to them, friendships were soon forged. Young, idealistic and eager to explore the frontiers of the new global information system, they continued to communicate with each other and met physically in February 1997. These four became BASS AGE:

Group Members Xhian Beam and Ultra Violet on Vocals, Khyron Five on Guitars, and Phiber Optik on Keyboards and Computers.

Instruments Computers, Synthesizers, Keyboards, Guitars, Drums

Press Reviews Review from mpXreview.com: The world has been blessed with many a wonder from down under like: Fosters, the koala, the boomerang, and Mel & Elle. And now from Australia comes an mp3 pop treat: Bass Age: "the future made flesh, silicon and steel." If you have had a really, really bad day, may we recommend downloading "Satellite Sex" - it's an effective upper. And while Bass Age revs your drive, get some eye candy at their web site. We promise that your life will take a turn for the better, or at least it will bring a moment or two of true amusement. For those of you who missed Glam, Cyber Punk and the Power Rangers you're are in for a trip straight into extreme Anime. Tongue-in-cheek clones from the Age of Glitter, Bass Age comes to you in living purple, silver, metallic blue spandex and overdosing on glitz. No matter how retro the band's image, "Satellite Sex" is a big, groovy and funky pop tune that hits the Billboard bull's eye. Nothing more or less than your standard issue Queen or Kiss throbs, yet "Satellite Sex" still does the throb job just as effectively. Add in a girl cyber growler and a charming phone conversation with a Japanese operator, and the net result is inspired. Bass Age has been around quite for some time - its basic operating system was laid among a group of early e-mail buddies back in 1985. By 1990 Xhian Beam started tapping his list of digi-heads with "credentials of talent, cyber literacy, shock image, and the ability to outrage." The band consists of Xhian Beam and Ultra Violet on Vocals, Khyron Five on Guitars, and Phiber Optik on Keyboards and Computers, and they eventually recorded their first EP "Iconoplastic" and have now uploaded "Satellite Sex." How can they go wrong with a killer hook and cyber lyrics like "Sex pot cyberspace giving me good interface, She's the one in Satellite City. Baby you're a wonder, what's your private number?"
