Pretentious, Moi? is a uk based goth band.

Created as a solo project by Tim Chandler in 1994, the live band now includes some of the best known musicians in the contemporary uk gothic scene.

The development of the solo project into a fully fledged band is only a recent one, and as the original project was not intended to be publicly released in any big way, there is very little previously released material out there, fortunately.

Sara Noxx - one of the award winners of 1997 ZILLO band contest - became almost over night a shooting star of the independent music scene.

Her debut album "Noxxious" and her single release "Society" soon guaranteed crowded dancefloors in alternative clubs and they still do today.

Her follow-up album "Paradoxx" (1998) is marked by electronic sounds, melancholic beats and lyrics full of end time romanticism. "Stupid" conquered Belgium's sales charts - her charts entry from zero to place 2 drew international attention on the German electro artist.

In 2001, after a three year break, "Exxtasy" was released. Sara for the first time really was able to present all the variety of her vocal timbre. Her songs, such as "Winter Again" and "Last Desire" became modern classics.

2003 was the time many scene relevant music magazines called the "Noxx Year". Sara once more entered new paths, released her instrumental album "Nonvoxx" which convinced even the last few sceptics when it was sold out within a very short time. In Autumn 2003 the album "Equinoxx" and the single cd "Colder & Colder" were released which claimed the no. 1 position of all European alternative charts for several weeks.

"Lyrixx", Sara's first book with poem's of her, was published in Spring 2004 - it is a unique amalgamation of fear and love with poems both vulnerable and impeaching . Critics lavished her with compliments.

In 2008 Sara Noxx released a 3CD set "XX-ray" including numerous new interpretations, remixes and duets but also a collection of multi lingual interpretations of her work.

The brand new album from Sara Noxx featuring the single "Superior Love". Intoxxication (2009) once more shows that the singer and lyricist Sara Noxx is an exceptional artist, leading her own path. In the intensity of the songs, ranging from ElectroClash to minimal electro influences, the artist creates her own sound, which is unique in the scene.

Driving beats meet floating keyboards, added to by the unmistakable and increasingly darkly erotic voice. The songs "Superior Love", "Deeper", "In Flame" and " Prepossessing" sta out like beacons. Hope, speed, obsession, disappointment and rage are the themes of Intoxxication.

Accoustically fascinating electronic beats, assaults with sterile, metronomic bass and hypnotic vocals all combine to create a remarkable and exciting new aspect of Sara Noxx. The Intoxxication will come!

Sara Noxx - a versatile artist one can expect to surprise again and again in the future.

THE BEAUTY OF GEMINA
«15 Jahre Hymnen an die Melancholie»

Treue Fans, Konzerte in aller Welt, Chartplatzierungen, Titelgeschichten in Musikmagazinen: Der charismatische Songschreiber, Sänger, Gitarrist und Produzent Michael Sele hat mit seiner Band THE BEAUTY OF GEMINA viel erreicht.
Seit fünfzehn Jahren werden THE BEAUTY OF GEMINA nicht nur in ihrer Heimat und benachbarten Ländern gefeiert, sondern in ganz Europa sowie besonders in Mittel- und Südamerika, sodass ihre Tourneen sie schon um den halben Globus geführt haben. Mehr als 250 Konzerte in 25 Ländern liegen bereits hinter der Band. 
Versuche, die passende «Schublade» für THE BEAUTY OF GEMINA zu finden, sind immer wieder zum Scheitern verurteilt, da sich das Songwriting von Michael Sele mit jeder Veröffentlichung stetig weiterentwickelt und sich teilweise gar neu erfunden hat. Über die Jahre ist dabei eine unverkennbare und faszinierende Mixtur aus melancholischem Wave, warmem Blues und erdigem Folk entstanden, eher dunkel, auch sehnsuchtsvoll aber voller Zuversicht, niemals trist oder resignierend.
Michael Sele schreibt träumerisch-düstere Texte und Musik, die einen in luftige Höhen genauso wie in abgründige Tiefen entführen können. Dabei begleitet die Hörerschaft stets seine samtweiche und geradezu tröstende Stimme, welche auch durch die beiden letzten Studioalben «Flying With The Owl» und «Skeleton Dreams» geleitet. Alben voller Nachdenklichkeit und unendlicher Schönheit. 
Die Songs sind voller Lebensenergie und Intensität, mal kraftvoll, mal sphärisch, mal beinahe jungfräulich, aufs absolute Minimum reduziert, dabei aber immer druckvoll und immer von poetischer Tiefe.
Die erfolgreichen Live-Auftritte der Band prägt Michael Sele durch seine aussergewöhnliche Präsenz, unterstützt von der leidenschaftlichen Performance des TBOG Urgesteins Mac Vinzens am Schlagzeug. Mit auf der Bühne dabei sind aktuell Andi Zuber am Bass und neu an den Keyboards Daniel Manhart.
