BIOGRAPHY
-- English -- They first met at a picnic in East Berlin in 2002. Since then, they have also lived together in London, Paris, and New York City. The trio can often been seen in and around night clubs, but they fit awkwardly there. Thieves Like Us were first discovered by the French imprint Kitsune who released their single, "Drugs In My Body" in 2007. They make pop music with a vintage electronic feel. Many times it makes you dance. Other times it makes you feel strange and wonderful. Back in the day they probably would have signed a contract in blood with Factory Records. 2008's "Play Music", their first album, would definitely have fit the bill. BBC Music called it "consistently exciting ... a contender for electronic album of the year." A writer for the legendary entity Amoeba Music exclaimed: "I have managed to fall deeply in love with this band in a matter of weeks. It is getting to the point where I don't want to listen to anything else." They are just about to release their second album, "Again and Again", and continue their non-stop world tour.
-- Francais -- Ils se sont rencontres lors d'un picnic Berlin-est en 2002. Depuis ils ont vecus ensemble a Londres, Paris, et New York. Le trio peut souvent etre apercu dans les parages de la night life, mais ils n'y sont pas toujours confortables. En 2007, Kitsune decouvre leur musique pop aux accents electroniques vintage, et sort le single "Drugs In My Body". Parfois ils font danser. Souvent ils suscitent des sentiments etranges et merveilleux. A l'epoque ils auraient signe un contrat de sang avec Factory Records. Leur premier album "Play Music" sort en 2008. Trax le qualifie immediatement de "coup de maitre". Tsugi les nomme "des marginaux, avec des ambitions demesurees et des chansons a la hauteur." Magic encense ces "clochards celestes qui ont la classe de ceux qui n'ont rien et l'elegance du desespoir." BBC Music proclame leur LP "candidat pour album electronique de l'annee." En ce moment ils sont sur le point de sortir leur second opus, "Again and Again", et continuent leur tour du monde apparemment sans fin.

Otras te hace sentir raro e increible. Estan a punto de sacar su segundo album Again and Again y a seguir con su tour por el mundo sin parar.
