Midnight Juggernauts were an Australian band from Melbourne, composed of Andrew Szekeres, Vincent Vendetta (Vincent Heimann), and Daniel Stricker.[1] The band has been described as anything from 'prog dance meets cosmic film scores',[2] to 'slasher-flick disco' to 'deadpan landscape'.[3] Following the release of numerous 7" and 12" singles, and limited edition EPs, the band released their debut album, Dystopia. After playing festivals and headlining tours worldwide during late 2007–2008,[4] the band finished working on their follow up album The Crystal Axis, touring around its release mid-2010 at festivals and headline shows around the globe.[5] After a few years' break, the band released a third album Uncanny Valley in mid-2013. Members have individually collaborated with various artists including Kevin Parker, Justice, Solange Knowles and Sebastian Tellier.[6] The group also runs the label Siberia Records, through which they release their own music and others including Kirin J. Callinan and Forces.[7]
