Electric Dreams at The Wheatsheaves

Frome’s very own Sweet Machine will headline this Saturday’s Electric Dreams night at The Wheatsheaves in Bath Street, this Saturday 7th May. 

The Frome based electro-pop band will be performing their diverse range of danceable, melodic and occasional electronic weirdness which has led to them being described as ‘Depeche Mode meets Pulp’. Formed by ex-members of ‘The Dream Kitchens’ the band have recently stepped up their gigging and released their new album ‘Electric Soup’ in late 2015, the line- up includes Darren Hogarth (vocals & synths) Rob Petherick (Bass & vocals) Richard Churchyard, synth player, vocalist (and owner of Frome’s Raves From The Grave)

In a late and surprising move Sweet Machine will be supported by a new band who having only just emerged from initial rehearsals have already caused a bit of a stir, not least because of some confusion over their name. ‘Music of the Andys’ combines the talents of The legendry festival band Here & Now’s  synth wizard Andy Roid and one of Bristol’s favourite guitarists Andy Burrows.

The evening will have a heavy 80’s influence with the bands joined by DJs including a set from local Electro pop queen Gene Serene.  The gig takes place on Saturday 7th May and the music starts at 8pm and entry is £3.00 and £4.00 after 10pm, the evening runs until 1.30am although last entry is at midnight.  Tickets are on sale at Raves From The Grave in Cheap Street, Frome.
