about ARTABAN

Nourished with their parent’s vinyl records and fascinated from an early age by the atmosphere of movies and shows such as Fantômas, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly or The Persuaders, Charles and Max Nilles create Artaban in 2006.

Drummer (Max) and guitarist (Charles), the two brothers explore individually various musical styles.
Rather indie rock for Max, who performed as a drummer in several famous local luxembourgish groups such as Actarus, Treasure Chest at the End of the Rainbow or currently Miaow Miaow.
While Charles, more interested in electronic music, begins to fiddle with sounds on his computer and synthesiser.

After several years of exile, in Brussels for the one and Paris for the other, the two music bulimic brothers get back together in Luxembourg in 2004. At last, Charles (laptop and synthesiser) and Max (bass) can give their musical imagination free rein. Out of the reunion emerges Artaban, melting pot of various moods (cinema, nature, escapism) wrapped up in electro sounds.

After a first concert within the framework of Luxembourg 2007 (Exit06 31.12.06), another one in Berlin at the 103Club and a few in Luxembourg (Cellula Indietronica Festival at D:qliq / Fête de la musique in Luxembourg-city / support act for Apparat (ger) at Exit07), Artaban hopes to repeat the experiment more often and release their first ep before the end of the year.
