Haute Tension

Haute Tension is a band from Miami, Florida that brings high energy to their live and studio performances. Formed by guitarist Alexandre Merbouti, and bassist, Monica McGivern, what began as a surf duo under the name Mo’Booty, has been shaped into something entirely new. 

Their music dances and entrances between Monica’s driving bass lines and Alexandre’s deep baritone voice, only to hit you with a crushing wall of sound that dissipates just as quickly as it came. Haute Tension enjoys straying from the confines of the traditional venue setting.  

Their performances adapt to alternative spaces such as galleries, art museums, and even empty malls, and warehouses as they often include homemade visuals to create an engaging experience for any audience. In the two short years as a band, they have been across the US and Europe playing music festivals and venues large and small with the like's of Yonatan Gat, Thee Oh Sees, Kikagaku Moyo, Ezra Furman, Boytoy, The Nude Party, and L.A. Witch.
