The Visitors

Portland, Oregon, United States

Influenced by artists as diverse as Calvin Harris, Hall and Oates, Bruce Springsteen and Frederic Chopin, the duo decided that the pop scene, currently dominated by female divas, needed an infusion of fresh male energy. Bridging the gap between classic soulful 80s pop and hard-hitting dance beats, The Visitors' sound is raw, glamorous and melodic, with a solid core of quality songwriting.</span><br /><br /><span>For The Visitors, pop music is more than a genre: it is a broad, stylistically ambiguous vehicle with the capacity to tackle vast and complex cultural, social and sexual themes. &nbsp;The band follows Wagner's edict of "Gesamtkunstwerk", a &ldquo;total&rdquo; work of art that incorporates many disciplines, drawing on film, dance and even mythology to create a rich storytelling experience that transcends traditional notions of popular music as entertainment. &nbsp;The duo tweaks standard ideas of duality &ndash; male/female, black/white, straight/gay &ndash; and envisions a party where everyone is welcome, where every person can shed their inhibitions and express their true selves.</span><br /><br /></strong></p>
