Biography
Supported through the years by tastemakers like Norman Cook and Pete Tong, Peplab has built a dedicated international following, attracted strongly by both their contagious DIY attitude and their unique "dance/80's pop-crossover" sound, making them truly accessible and hard to ignore.
Last year Beautiful People, a track of their previous album Drive, was featured in the trailer of Hollywood blockbuster Mr. & Mrs. Smith. A few months later UK hit-producer Brian Higgins used their song Its not the Drug as the basis for an album-track of UK no.1 girl-band Girls Aloud.
Their 3rd album Ken Sent Me is clearly inspired by many icons of the 80s, but Peplabs progressive production-skills always prevent it from becoming retro all the way: Peplabs music definitely captures the sound of today and tomorrow.
Ken Sent Me is by far the most accessible Peplab album until now and will definitely take their music to a wide international audience.
