Hi-fi attitude compressed in lo-fi seconds twined with noisy synthetic pop winks... "Lazer punk" they call it. What Rodo (bass and keyboards), Valentín Torres (keyboards and laptop) and Jung Sing (drums and vocals) have been doing since the beginning of 2005, in the border city of Mexicali, Mexico, is something far beyond "simple" punk. This young musician's power combo, with a sinister humor and electronic hints, roughly deconstruct rock music that, until today, has grown a great legion of fans all over the country. These three mannequins breakthrough the conventional apparel, making you go wild and dance with music you're not even supposed to dance to. Maniqui Lazer blends the heritage of Iggy Pop's attitude on stage and the impudence of The Liars live. That might explain why in such a short time, they've shared stage with bands like Xiu Xiu, Erase Errata, XBXRX (together they toured border cities in early '06), Montag, as well as known mexican artists like Fax, Silverio, Childs, E.lebleu, She's a Tease, Panoptica, Titán and Fancy Free. Maniqui Lazer may fill the gap between the sound of The Blood Brothers, Les Georges Leningrad and XBXRX. Their debut album was produced by Mexicali's techno favorite Ruben Tamayo a.k.a. Fax (Traum, Static Discos, Rocket Racer).

"With a lusty charisma and a hilarious performance, Maniqui Lazer gives pop and rock an awkward twist never heard before. Is it pop? Is it punk? Toy electronic meets disco hardcore? Are they some sort of sci-fi post-punk preachers? Or is this the pop that will hit the punk rock billboards by the year 2010? Too many questions, but one thing for sure, it's that they know how to make their audience dance and yell without falling into or faking a trend.Whatever, don't theorize. Maniqui Lazer is here for you to have fun." Marked by RADIANTE PRESS from Tijuana as best new mexican band in 2005.

"...han creado un mounstruo mitad orgánico, mitad electrónico, que sólo es peligroso si no sigues su orden: Baila desenfrenado"
REFORMA (MX)

"These infectious songs made me want to dance, laugh, have sex, and smash a bottle over someone's head-- all at the same time. Listening to this album is guaranteed fun from the first beat on if you enjoy diverse, ironic, deconstructed dance music with attitude.
BEAUTIFUL/ DECAY (USA)

"...the label's highlight is laptop-punk band Maniqui Lazer, whose great "I Learn Everything on TV" EP just happens to sound like Throbbling Gristle.
