Chicago’s electronic rock stalwarts Future Rock continue to pound out pulsating beats with the verocity of a 70's era rock band. Outside of hometown Chicago, they may be best known for high profile and excellent remixes of Daft Punk, Neon Indian, Black Moth Super Rainbow and DFA 1979. Back home they are justly celebrated for legendary performances such as their set at Wicker Park Fest that turned the entire neighborhood into a vast and energized dance floor, forcing even the palest and most resolutely hard-to-impress hipsters to call up their inner dance monsters. Live performances combine loops, samples and Mickey Kellerman's keyboards with Darren Heitz's drums plus Felix Moreno's Larry Graham-style bass slapping to create an enormously powerful groove. Their light show is as good as their music, and their set have been known to inspire dance frenzies.

Our new song "Good Old Days" is out now!

Thibault is what happens when voltaic house beats wander into the throbbing neon forest of electro funk. He is distorted strobe light soul melted on lightning pancakes with a side of techno darkness. Born from the loins of Rock n Roll, and mothered by Hip-Hop and Big Beat, Thibault is emerging as a singular electronic producer and live performer.

Conceived in and birthed from Austin's steamy underground houses of Rock, Auto Body is live Electro Fusion. Fueled by their shared bloodlust for sonic divinity, and armed with a war chest of synthesizers, samplers, rattlesnakes, and a bass guitar, Tibaut Bowman (DJ Thibault) and Felix Moreno (Future Rock), crusade the universe in search of the electronic Holy Grail.

Felix Moreno:
Contrary to popular belief, Felix is actually the son of Argentine soccer star Jose Manuel Moreno, also known as "El Charro." Ranked as one of the the best 25 players in 20th century by the IFFHS, it is widely believed that the great El Charro died in 1978 at the age of 62. In Fact, he had faked his own death in order to escape the country to be with his one true love, Kim Ryrie. The much younger Ryrie used her Spring/Autumn love affair with Moreno as inspiration to finish her masterpiece- the first polyphonic digital sampling synthesizer known as The Fairlight CMI. As the legend goes, Ryrie and Moreno concieved Felix during the final stages of the groundbreaking synth's design and construction only to see it rise to prominence in the early 80's after their son's birth.AllegedlyFelix was literally born in the studio workshop on a soft, make-shift, bed of circuitry and hand-made audio cables. To this day the young Moreno claims to have a fullconsciousmemory of his own birth, and has dedicated his life to music theory, and electronic sound synthesis. Armed with a degree in composition from Northwestern University, and trailer full of synthesizers, Felix roams the land with the successful band, Future Rock, in quest of Electro righteousness.

Tibaut Bowman:
Rural Texas (Christmas, 1979)- David Bowman, formerastronaut inN.A.S.A.'s controversial Experimental Space Travel Program and inspiration for Stanley Kubrik's character of the same name in his film- "2001: A Space Odyssey", was delivering his first child backstage at a sold-out live music venue. Bowman had been an outlaw on the run for over a decade ever since a fight on the set of "2001", over the film's final sequence, earned him an assault charge, and a warrant for his arrest. His whereabouts are poorly chronicled after that until a reported love affair in the late 70's with a beautiful french musician, with the last name Thibault, who was working as a roadie on Willie Nelson's U.S. tour supporting his platinum record, "Stardust." It was backstage during the performance of title track, "Stardust" that the man responsible for Kubrik's "star child" delivered his son, Thibault. (later shortened to Tibaut) As an adult, Tibaut gravitated to Austin, The Live Music Capitol of the World, where he became a musician, singer, producer, filmmaker, and successful DJ.

The two went their whole lives with the feeling that there was something........someone out there that would complete their personal set of creative skills, and help form some kind of music super being. Some say it's a super group, some sayit's an abomination of noise and machinery.
Two people say it's about time.
You can call it Auto Body.
