Join us for an evening of live, original synthpop, synthwave and electronica with Sweet Machine, Infra Violet and Gnostic Rebellion
Sweet Machine
Embracing 80’s, 90’s and contemporary electronic musical influences Sweet Machine make danceable, melodic, synthpop songs for the masses. Live appearances have included Brockley Max (with Kumo, Rodney Cromwell and Mari Dangerfield) The Frome Festival, support slots for Chris Difford, Huey Morgan and Gene Serene (The Frixion), along with their own ‘Electrofied’ events at The Brunswick, Hove and Bennett Centre, Frome, where they have performed alongside Laugh Clown Laugh, Stereo Kela, Mëi, INVADR, Lorenz Attraction, Vida Futura, Andy Roid and Pixelstorm.
They say…
“Fantastic, authentic, melodic old-skool electro, reminiscent of Morodor and Oakey at their best!”
“Original synthpop with a strong 80’s vibe – Depeche Mode meets Pulp!”
“A full house danced to the bands twin synthesisers, with ace base and psychedelic effects to glam the night to a higher plain”
Infra Violet is collaboration between producer Toby Campen’s 80’s inspired synth tracks, and singer-songwriter Beth’s intricate guitar and soulful vocals. Forming in early 2020, the duo already has several successful releases including ‘Polaroid’, ‘Radio’ and ‘Grow’, mastered by Pete Maher (Depeche Mode, U2, The 1975). After widespread attention in the Synth scene following their popular hit ‘Polaroid’, they’ve gained regular international radio play including BBC Radio, Phoenix FM and Nightride FM, plus a feature on ‘This is Synthwave 3’ compilation album by Red Manor Records.
Pushing the boundaries of the genre by combining singer-songwriter, rock, fingerstyle and electronic influences, Infra Violet have poured everything into an emotional, passionate and bold debut ‘Dream Tether’.
