Members an… Read Full Bio ↴Santa Hates You is a German based band formed in autumn 2007.
Members and founders of the band are the musical icon Peter "PS" Spilles and the enigmatic italian vocalist/lyricist Jinxy. Legend has it that they first met at the Ohlsdorfer Cemetery in Hamburg, where it is said that they accidentally 'scared the hell out of each other'. Apparently it was then that PS noticed Jinxy's unusual voice, and, well, it seems safe to say that he was quite intrigued by what he heard.
After discovering their common passion for dark music, macabre arts and rebellious humor, the two became friends and soon decided to start a band together.
Santa Hates You's music is straight forward dark-electro, with industrial traits and extremely danceable beats on one side, and catchy sequences as well as gothic and electro-punk elements on the other. While the band describes their sound as "juicy electronic-gothic-industrial", many others have tried, in the course of the last years, to characterize the Santa Hates You - style.
'A musical maelstrom'; 'The perfect soundtrack to the Mad Hatter's tea party'; 'Bizarre and grotesque like some kind of sexy freak show'; 'Always hard hitting but infectious as hell', 'Distasteful, wayward, mischievous, depraved, and dangerous for our youth' are only some of the most colorful labeling attempts out there.
Santa Hates You's powerful vocals are another unmistakable trait of the duo.
PS's striking voice finds a worthy ally in Jinxy's equally distinctive sultry-to-snarled vocal presence.
Santa Hates You is a subversive musical project, and this is reflected in the lyrics and in the image of the band.
They are famous for their 'trademark blend of dark, at times rather caustic humor' merged with a considerable portion of anticonformism, rebellion and shrewdness.
The band has often expressed their love for the european literature and art of the late 19th and early 20th century, and openly recognizes artistic movements such as Symbolism, Surrealism and the Decadent Movement as a source of stylistic inspiration.
The knowledge and passion for different psychological perspectives and approaches should also be mentioned as an unmissable inspirational element in the band's creative process.
They are currently signed to Trisol Music Group.

Every year, April 12th, I review this video. Cosmonauts Day is for Werner von Braun, and Sergey Korolev, and Yuri Gagarin. This is a common holiday of all progressive humanity. Tsars and presidents come and go, but the desire for research and knowledge remains. Happy holiday!
