RADI8 (&The Magnificent 7)

New innovative popmusic readymade for tomorrow!

History:
The band was founded 1983 in Copenhagen as A Taste Of Red, became the multimediamonster Terminator Ted, has reinvented its style as The Magnificent 7, did a turn and was named Radi8. The full story is to long... - but remember, we allways wanted to be innovative and in every way surprising. Thats one reason why Radi8´s liveperformances often extended to mega multiculturel events, rather then ordinary popconcerts. The band has and will allways function as an more or less open forum, that is to inshure that Radi8 allways will be upfront, allways new, allways innovative allways... (That´s one reason for the extendet memberlist.)

At this moment Radi8 takes a break and leaves the scene to the incredible vocalist Coralie (with some of us on board). She is allways on the move, recording for several artists and some supreme exciting new material just for you - check the latest news on Radi8´s home.

Press Reviews:
On the album Secrets 5 we get a big surprise. Out of the ashes of the great multimedia monster Terminator Ted rises the beautifull pop-phoenix Radi8 presenting there first five songs. In one hand very different - very popish with a more straight forward sound - yet still very innovative with many strange ideas and multietnic soundscapes. The best example is I Wonder with its great lyrics and hookline, but also including soundscapes i´ve never heard before... Belief is a alternative hip hop symphony with this everchanging hookline, rap, banjo, sitar, japanese koto... - Is this a harmonic popsong, possible and a hit? - YES!... This where excerpts of two reviews, there are tons more - mostly from Denmark and the rest of Europe.
