White Rose Movement are a post-punk/electro
band from London,
England.
The band is named after the German anti-Nazi resistance movement White
Rose. They mix the post-punk style and attitude of early bands of the
genre such as Joy Division and The
Chameleons with a more New Romantic image reminiscent of bands
like Duran
Duran, Depeche Mode and A Flock of Seagulls,
as well as more modern electroclash and post-punk
revival influences.
White Rose Movement was formed from the ashes of an earlier
unsuccessful band named Arturo. Finn Vine, Jasper Milton, Owen
Dyke and Edward Harper all grew up
in a hippy commune in a small village in Norfolk and have been friends since
childhood. Taxxi (real name Erica MacArthur)
supposedly joined the band when Dyke went throughout the London
club Trash asking every
girl whether they played keyboards. The band once owned a club in London named Dazzle!,
which was situated in an old S&M venue. Their first album Kick
was released April
17, 2006,
after a long period of media hype and critical acclaim from the British
indie music press. Kick was produced by British producer Paul
Epworth. The band toured with The Rakes across January and
February of 2006, following these dates with a headline tour of their
own in March.
Also in 2006, they played at the Coachella
festival in California
and Festival
Internacional de Benicàssim near Barcelona, as well as two tours supporting
Placebo
and other festivals. The band were due to embark on a headline tour of
the UK in September,
but due to Finn
Vine being ill they were forced to postpone this tour to
November/December of that year.
