SHINDU

Out of the dark and into the blue, two boys and a girl from Belgium collide to create Shindu. A refreshing synthpopsensation that embodies the challenge to take music into the dawn of a new era. Shindu dreams up stories to create jaunty yet clever tracks drenched in late 80s electronica and atmospherics.

As every tale has its beginning, so does the band. Christopher and Maxime started out as dj’s with a repertory mainly consisting of miscellaneous electro and pop digressions. Minds tend to change and so did their ambition to aim for a higher level of music perception. Along the journey roaming different venues, clubs, studios, radio shows and meeting industry big shots over the years, the time felt right to pursue a greater goal. Namely reinventing themselves into a credible live act alternating with exclusive dj-sets.

But it’s really when confetti shoots across the room and mist starts clamping down, all eyes are on the leading lady, Chibi, delivering Shindu’s strong and exhilarating vocals on a carpet of colors.

Shindu equals a celebration with friends or a drive along sunny roads, shorelessly being yourself in a continuous loop…
