Biography

3 and a half years after the release of the album "A MIX Through The Night", WAITING FOR WORDS are back with a brand new 6 tracks EP, "The Curve", first of a 3 EP series that will be released in 2010.

This is the first release by the band on the British label Foundry Records who signed them a few months after their awesome performance at Le Bataclan (with De/Vision & Onetwo) in September 2008.
This was the confirmation of the interest given to the band by UK after some repeated broadcasts and interviews on the BBC, a dozen of concerts there, and in 2005, a management contract with EMSAR Management, an English music management company.

Waiting For Words demonstrate that their songwriting skills for perfect pop songs are improving from year to year. The Curve, in its original version or remixed, By Your Side and For All My Sins are instantly memorable catchy hits, with a darkness and melancholy as well, extremely well produced.
As per Cause I Do Believe, re-recorded and remixed, this is without a doubt the hymn of the band, that carries on through years without a wrinkle.

This EP brings a freshness to a style often limited by the weight of the influences, robotic rhythms and the pressure of the "How synthpop should sound like" debate amongst the fans.

Waiting For Words don't pay attention to that and still follow their own road. Their influences are certainly here, but extremely well assimilated and a real unique sound owned by the band only emerges: electronic live drums and percussions, charismatic voice, original synths... Their Live experience (probably one of the only bands of the French synth scene that tours constantly) mixed with great production and visuals which has taken Waiting For Words to another level in their career.

The Curve EP has been mixed by Steve Prestage (Peter Gabriel, XTC, Japan, Partenaire Particulier...) and contains participations by Creature XY from the band Foretaste and People Theatre who recently remixed Nitzer Ebb, I Am X, Trisomie 21, De/Vision and Anne Clark.

A Walk Through The Night, the 4th and previous album of the band (April '04) and its remixed version A MIX Through The Night (March '06) featuring some of the finest acts of the European Electro scene have been critically acclaimed in France, Belgium, UK, Germany, Russia, US, Spain... : 11 tracks with a finely hood production, exploring pop, rock, trip-hop or New Wave influences.

Those 6 last years allowed the band to install themselves as one of the major acts of the alternative electronic scene.

Live, the line up is completed by V-Form, cult V-Jays, for video screenings, bringing a higher dimension to the live performances of the band.
Medias and audience are impressed with the live power of the band and his charismatic leader, ZeN, has had witnessed more than a thousand persons, on September 20th '08 @ Le Bataclan, during the Intel-Surcouf Festival "La Nuit de l'Electro Live", where they shared the stage with no less than DE/VISION, the german cult band, and ONETWO, the band of Miss Claudia Brücken (Propaganda) and Paul Humphreys (OMD).

Waiting For Words as already started touring again in UK, France and for the first time in Germany (Electropop Festival with Universal Poplab, Ostricht, Pleasant Fiction... in WeÍßkollm and Berlin).
They performed on November 14th in Paris, @ Le Glazart, with the cult French New Wave act TRISOMIE 21, and will hit the road again in Brittany on April 3rd and the band will celebrate their 20 years on Aprl 9th in Paris.
