LA based producer Boom Bip and Super Furry Animals front man and solo star Gruff Rhys, have joined forces to create a new group Neon Neon.

Their startlingly original debut album Stainless Style is themed around and inspired by the incredible, colorful life of the world's first playboy engineer, John DeLorean. The ballsy businessman dealt in high stakes, borrowing enormous sums of money [including £85 million from the British Government] in order to fulfill his lifelong dream of building an automotive empire.
His crowning glory, the iconic DMC-12, better known as simply 'The DeLorean', was fittingly immortalized as Marty and Doc's time machine in legendary 80s movie Back To The Future.

With his jet-setting lifestyle, fast cars and sharp flared suits, the flamboyant DeLorean had no shortage of female admirers and was connected to a string of glamorous lovers including US film and TV star Raquel Welch "The most desired woman of the 70s" according to Playboy Magazine, she became an international sex symbol and is the subject of Neon Neon's first single...
'Raquel' is a precision engineered, turbo-charged slice of power-pop and sits perfectly alongside other musical influences on the album ranging from crunk, rock, italo disco and electro with guests including Yo Majesty, Spank Rock and Fat Lip.

Record Label: Lex Records
Label Type: Independent
Band Members: Gruff Rhys, Boom Bip and friends.
Influences: John DeLorean
Sounds Like: Boom Bip's euphoric, lush and pin-sharp dancefloor-pop leads us into the heady world of fast cars, shag-pile carpets and the bitter taste of Martini as Gruff Rhys's brilliantly maverick songwriting reimagines -- through the eyes of DeLorean himself -- the colourful and chequered life of a man taking the American dream to the edge and beyond.

Make a Video for Raquel. I love that song. You should have a Raquel Welch look-a-like, in it too. That would be cool.
