SHH was formed when operatically-trained singer and author Diana Huarte tried to enlist DJ and producer Daniel Gorostegui (of Argentine no-wave legends Don Cornelio Y La Zona) to help start an opera nightclub in a hip Buenos Aires bar. The club never happened but, after hours spent listening to (and arguing about) music,one thing was clear: they needed to make music of their own.
Taking cues from the likes of Goldfrapp, Depeche Mode and the Pet Shop Boys, SHH make maximal alternative electronic pop. Sometimes sexy and glamorous, sometimes darker and more dramatic that Robert Smith’s eyeliner, SHH believe in big tunes and big fun. And songs about cats.
SHH have released two albums (so far) and have played Buenos Aires, London, Brighton, Berlin, Sheffield, Madrid, Santiago de Chile and beyond, gigging everywhere from eco-festivals to fetish clubs, even underneath a dinosaur (in aNatural History Museum).
Now based in London, and with former music journo Robert Heller as a third member, SHH have supported legends such as Sigue Sigue Sputnik, Martin Rev (Suicide),Toyah, Lene Lovich and T’Pau.
