OFFICIAL Mach FoX BIO:
Among the lifetime residents of Abyssville are those rock and rollers whose faith in the liberating rebellion of Electropunk music gets
crossed up into a personal need to defy convention and authority - all authority. Clinging to icons whose cools convey a fearless sense
of adventure, they are buffeted by the rigors of a lifestyle that would embalm a vampire and propelled by audience expectations of
superhuman hedonism and indulgence.

Mach FoX is the quintessential Electro-Rocker, a glam punk who digs the roots, a true believer in the machine backbeat.
A man who lives the music as if it means something, and gives himself over to it in a near fatal rock ritual. An Electropunk who dresses
in his habit defiantly, disgustedly- like a close-fitting tattered mesh shirt, Mach and machines have become as inseperable as Mach
and his old hat and goggles. Time and again, he hauls himself through the fire to prove that he is no myth- but a keeper of the flame.
If Marc Bolan was the godfather of glam then Mach FoX will most certainly sire the child of Mpls. Electropunk.

In early 06' he had a new album, and bassist D-bot joined the line-up. The bands combination of confident
image and a music which mixed Mach FoX's goth-tinged vocals, stabbing synths, and churning guitars,
with sultry female vocals, funky bass and drum machines, had defined the bands unique style on the 2006 Mach FoX self-titled.

REVIEWS -
Though he used to be a member of the consciously kitschy space-age electro-pop band Manplanet, local electronica ace Mach Fox
has taken a darker turn on his latest set of synth-heavy electro-punk. His new self-titled CD embraces the goth-industrial ethic of
Ministry and a boatload of '80s-era groups like Killing Joke and Bauhaus.
- the Onion (mpls.) - Volume 42 Issue 14 / April 6-12 2006

Mach FoX - dancy, trancy electronica with a great 80s vibe. (Think Blondie, Yaz, Prince, or DAF.) There's something here for everyone
to love, and this disc should keep you dancing. As Mach Fox is doing most everything right -- not the least of which is creating a niche
as a showman who looks more like a life-size space movie action figure than a rock star -- it's a wonder he's not better known outside
the electronic music scene. Mach (or Mark, as he's known to his friends) would also be a hit with fans on the indie rock scene.
His female vocalist's voice recalls Annie Lenox at times, also not a bad thing.

Mach FoX 2oo6 self-titled -
"Mach FoX is a guy who has an idea, a style, a strong personality. So many artists are more interested by fashion or becoming popular,
They appear on the scéne and they disappear, who remember them. Mach is not a new born and he will be there for a long time with his
own and original material. I bet one day it will be his hour. Sure you can recognize and critizice the strong 80's influence on his music.
So what? no one critizice all these fake punk bands which are on the top of thecharts, or what to think about last Madonna's album?
The Strokes? Mach lives on an other planet, he's got his own universe, deeply and with passion. Glitter, Sci Fi, Poppy, crunchy,
this new album is mature. He has done the choice to work with other musicians to create a band atmosphere, which made the music
more rich and various, without losing his own signature. I have to admit that my ear was grabbed at first by strong melodies like on
Fast, Fallaway, thee electric way. More punk and crunchy than in the past, I have appreciated AXion FriXion, Run 4 the prize. As Mach
does no compromise, he took the risk to deliver also experimental sounds, really interesting and cinematic tracks like on qlitch.
Mach drive this new record like a fast car, with cohesion, honesty,efficiency and without compromise...so,try it, take it or leave it...
I have tried, and this album will stay in my fav I-pod folder for a while."

Welcome to New York, 1986. Or maybe it's Berlin, 1946.
No matter the time period, the combination of the low-ceilinged Club Underground and the industrial sounds of Mach Fox challenge the
ear's sense of place. Lead singer Mach Fox (dressed in robotic-blue shoulder pads) and his crew of gothy superstars debuted their
self-titled release to a crowd of dancing fools. HowWasTheShow Assistant Editor Andrea Myers commented that Mach Fox looked
like a Transformer, ready to morph into a car at any moment. Given the night, which included a pretty guitarist in a pleather skirt
throwing plastic apes at the crowd, an aerobic electronic Frenchman and an impromptu co-ed How Was the Show meeting in the
ladies' bathroom, I wouldn't have been surprised.

The evening was closed out by Mach FoX, a show-stopping performer whose stage presence and demeanor are so confidently punk,
so powerfully fun that I felt a little cooler just for standing there and watching him. From his bio, it is said that Mach FoX is the
quintessential Electro-Rocker, a glam punk who digs the roots, a true believer in the machine backbeat. I don't think I could agree more.
As soon as Mach FoX and his tribe of back-up musicians (Adam Powell and Dave Erickson of Thosquanta, along with the gorgeous TeA)
took the stage, the entire room was bathed in smoke and neon lights. Dressed like a cross between a robot soldier and a Transformer,
Mach FoX controlled the atmosphere of the room with his blinding Electropunk, welcoming outsiders everywhere into his world and
holding the entire room in his grasp.

Mach FoX - selftitled
He wears masks on his shoulders and big, black goggles on his face – the better to electrify you with. He comes at you like Abobo with
a drum machine. Mach FoX is on the frontlines as man and machine sonically duke it out, but which side is he on? The electro-rocker
has brought his electronic mash-ups into 2006 with a new band and a new record, a self-titled collection of goth-tinged synthpop sounds
that will have you dancing jerkily about in no time.
The CD kicks off with "Run 4 the Prize," a fuzzy-beat and new wave guitar-driven number slathered with the 'VoX' stylings of Mach,
guitarist Adam01 and TeA, whose icy pipes declare "a little strange will do you good." Mach's robotic vocal effects are only natural on
the follow-up track, "AXion FriXion," which fondly recalls Thomas Dolby.
Things get a little darker farther into the disc. Samples and mechanical voices churn in the rapid, angry swirl of "Upsidedown."
An industrial edge comes in with "The Subversives" and "Favourite Photo," which begins with the sound of what seems to be an
orgasmic slot machine and evolves in a Gary Numan-inspired clash of guitar and drumbeats. French artist and former tour mate
Severin24 puts a dreamy twist on a remix of the album's "Fast, Fallaway."
Camp and novelty are inevitable anytime humans put on the robot suit, but those things are fun and different and that's always a
good thing.

Mach FoX - self-titled
This is the second release for Mach Fox, again released independently (in early 2006) and this time featuring a enhanced lineup, with
new members TeA (Vox), Adam01 (Guitar/Vox), and Dave (Bass) joining Mach Fox. "Futurepast", the previous release, was a
compilation of "home recordings and demos", while this is intended to be the band's official debut album.
8 tracks and two remixes make up this journey into the land of electropunk, with a generous splash of New Wave influences to speed
the album along it's way. Jangly guitars and quirky attitude drive several of these quite catchy tracks, such as "Run 4 The Prize"
and "AXion FriXion". Both these tracks tap into the offbeat and strangely compelling nature of early New Wave, with strangely warbling
vocals and arrhythmic percussion. "Fast, Fallaway" follows the same formula, but best achieves a balance between the pop catchiness
and quirky oddness
Jason Baker @ synthpop.net

Mach FoX takes a futuristic premise, with past electronic synth tradition and creates a dark brooding sound.
With "Fast Fallaway," and their new CD, Mach FoX edges closer to the top of the local Electropunk scene.

If you can make it through the door (look, dont touch, please), youre in for a real treat brought to you by the electroglam
robotic band Mach Fox, led by Twin Cities music scene veteran Mark ("Mach") Howard. Its guitar-rock with synthesizers
and drum machines the vintage feel of the 80s coupled with enough of a hook to appease the masses.
