PRESENTED BY ENA-HELENA EVER

BARCA BAXANT
1984 the family of eight emigrates from Karlovy Vary (former Czechoslovakia) to Austria, shortly after her parents sign the Charta 77.
Straight after completing the business school, Barca concentrates on the music, moves to London, later Berlin, but the prospect of success with her project Princess Him pulls her back to Vienna. Several musical projects are following, like the collaboration with Depeche Mode´s Drummer Christian Eigner on the album Recovery, with legendary Electric Indigo on 2 Singles, or with House-Hero Alexander Kowalski - to name a few.
Her back then main band Silicone Pumpgun falls apart on their Mexico-Tour, just before the digital release of their second album.
The Bandaloop arises 2010 from the collab with producer Justin Case. To complete the Duo, Mike Blitz appears on the scene and delivers the extra rock´n roll-element to the entertaining liveshows.
Concerts mostly all over Vienna follow; the first EP TBL is out this very summer.
The band also gets the chance to create and perform their piece Stardoom at the ImPuls Tanz Festival [8: tension] - Young Choreographers Series. The debut is due march 2013. The next adventure lies ahead as The Bandaloop was just recently nominated amongst 5 national finalists to battle for representing their homeland at the Eurovision Song Contest.

JUSTIN CASE
Born in Innsbruck, Tirol. Just half a year before finishing school, self-confident Justin quits and puts all his energy entirely in his band Further Kind, releasing 2 albums on Trost Records and Family Album.
After travelling to the US and London, Justin settles in Vienna and studies classical double bass at the Vienna Conservatory. As someone not to keen on school-enviroment, he leaves the institution and starts working as a live and studio bassist (for Lichtenberg, Tango Boys, Silicone Pumpgun, Onehundredminutes, Nowhere Train the artists Rych & Danes etc.).
Only in 2010 Justin starts producing his own stuff again and founds The Bandaloop with Barca.
MIKE BLITZ
Born in Vienna. At the age of 10 he´s struck by thunder and survives. It´s at this moment he realizes he´s born to spread his energy by playing the drums and kicks off with his father and brother rocking the family estate.
Many different bands (like United Movement, Onehundred Minutes, The Dieter Kroll Experience, Sex on the Beach and The Bandaloop) mostly settled in the experimental scene, and publications (Trost Records and Noise Appeal Records etc.) following.
