Emotech has been awarded the project to design and develop the new Web site for Adelaide band The Levitators

The Levitators played their first gig in November ’04 at the Rhino room as a four piece, instrumental act. In 2005, they recruited Sam Morrison who toolover on samples and started to add a vocal element to the band. 2006 saw the band gain some impressive gigs supporting Nubreed, K-Oscillate, The Breakfastas and play along side Grandmaster Flash, Patife & Mampi Swift at the We Love Sounds Festival.

The boys’ first show for 07 was the Big Day Out where thet gave a blistering performance in the blistering heat! Late 2007, Triple J caught wind of their track “Aqualung” and decided to unearth the guys and give them a spot at The Parklife Festival alongside acts such as Lyrics Born, Shapeshifter, The Herd and Justice. The boys then headed to the studio to record their most popular single to date,“Dinner at Panchos” which recieved wide rotation an Triple J as well as Nova and Fresh FM radio stations.

The band has no particular influences, though some aspects of the Levitators are comparable to The Propeller heads, The Prodigy, Chemical Bros, Massive attack and even The Doors. The intense energy, tightness of the rhythm section, improvisation and mastery of dynamics helps the Levitators in creating their own, distinct sound. The energy and sense of fun that flows from the stage, together with great musicality and originality really set this group apart!
