STandART is a band from Latvia, whose music could be described as synthpop/darkwave. The
band is widely using the sound of analogue synthesizers and playing as live as possible in
concerts.

STandART was founded in 2002 in Latvian town Jelgava by Kalvis Kluburs. During the next
years the band experienced permanent member and musical direction changes, but later things
established and STandART are: Kalvis Kluburs, Juris Tipa de Casar, Harry Belsky, Vladislav
Belsky.

It was the 4th STandART single "Corrosion" (released in November 2006) that gained a wider
attention of media. "Corrosion" gave STandART the first significant chart-success. The
self-directed video entered the video chart of Latvian Music Channel and the song reached
no.21 in Latvian Airplay charts, spent 6 weeks at no.1 in biggest Latvian alternative radio
NABA, and was played and reviewed in several foreign countries. It was the first STandART
single that featured several remixes from various electro artists from the UK, Poland and
Belgium. Reviewers underline that although STandARTÆs musical direction is clear, the band
creates a very special and unique sound. Without any doubts, STandART had become one of the
leading electro acts in the Baltic region.

The release of the single was followed by "Corrosion Tour" across the Baltic States. The
tour ended joining German legendary band "Camouflage" on their "Relocated Tour" - playing at
Latvian aftershow party and being the support act in Tallinn, Estonia. Shortly before,
STandART had made a remix for "Camouflage" song "We Are Lovers". In April 2007 "Corrosion"
was released on USA radio "Dark Horizons" compilation.

The next STandART singles "Seven Times" and "Kaa Citi Dziivo" ("How The Others Live")
repeated success of the previous single. The first full-time album, titled "Australia", was
produced by the band itself collaborating with Kaspars Tobis (well known Latvian rock band
"Dzelzs Vilks"), and Sandris Savickis ("Starring Two"). The album release in Autumn 2007 was
followed by "Australia Tour" across the Baltic States and Poland. With the album "Australia"
STandART were nominated for the Best Debut 2007 at Latvian Music Awards.

Currently the band has just released a double a-side single "My Holiness / Australia" with 2
another new videos. This is the 7th STandART single (2 digital, 5 self released MCDs). The
