Style electronic, melodic, danceable
Charm, wit, imaginativeness, energy… these are only a couple of attributes to describe LAVANTGARDE. This electro-duo definitely stands out from the crowd and crosses the borders of genres, stereotyped-thinking and monotony. It's a band that not only works in the 'scene' but also in the populace and above all goes down well. They are suitable for the radio, clubs and live shows without losing their own identity.

For more than ten years now, the Duo LAVANTGARDE consisting of the charismatic singer Frank and the keyboard player and sound artist Nick from Hildesheim (near Hannover / Germany) have committed themselves to electronic music. Fans had to wait for a long time, however, before their first CD "Musicment' was finally released in 2002. A long break and various solo projects were the crucial reasons for this. But they never lost their musical roots and continuously developed their style of music, which they have now followed since the beginning of the 90´s and is characterized by their fondness for catchy, sometimes even melancholic tunes, meaningful lyrics and a comprehensive song structure. Their latest productions with influences from the club scene are a successful blend of traditional and modern electronic music and above all are extremely danceable.

Over the years, the duo was given the chance to prove their live qualities performing with well-known bands like De/Vision, Camouflage, Alphaville and Wolfsheim and they don't need to fear comparison with any of them.

LAVANTGARDE's latest album "Inside Out", on which they continue on the road of electronic music consistently charged with emotion, was released on 27 September 2004. "Take me s.i.m" is the title of the appropriate single.

"Excellent electronic pop music charged with atmosphere and with an eye for the detail. And then there is one attribute which unfortunately is lacking in music nowadays. Lavantgarde seem to be able to come up with catchy yet never bothersome tunes just like that. Singer Frank Lavant's charismatic and unique voice is easily recognized. "Inside Out" sounds - even if there's a touch of the 80s to it - modern and turned out to be incredibly diversified and distinctive."

Lavantgarde Live: animation, party, variation of feelings, full of atmosphere, perfect live singing.

Lavantgarde Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The thing I won′t forget
Was the day
When we first met
My heart gave me advice
That moment I looked in your eyes

Since the day we've met
My life has made a change

And I can′t deny
There's nothing I regret

Whenever I see you
It makes me smile
Can't acting cool
The time you aren′t near
Let my yearning end in fear

Now the past has gone
The sun has filled my life
And you′ll be the one
To keep this sun alive

Since the day we've met
My life has made a change
And I can′t deny
There's nothing I regret

Now the past has gone
The sun has filled my life

And you′ll be the one
To keep this sun alive
