Leave the light behind and join us in the shadows with finely crafted electro tunes challenging our very existence.

Featuring the following 3 bands (for the price of one ticket!)

Maija Sofia

Irish songwriter based in East London. Blending elements of psychedelia with a new-romantic sensibility, her songs are enchanting, whimsical and tinged with melancholy. She released her first single 'Cosmonaut' in April 2014 and since then has played extensively in Ireland, London and New York. 'The Sugar Sea EP' was released in November 2015 and has already garnered attention from critics and fans across the globe.

Mahrnie

French singer, songwriter. Trained at the music conservatoire in Burgundy, she played the viola by the age of 5 and then the oboe for more than 10 years. Always influenced by movies and classical music, the most important for her being to tell stories by letting her imagination take her as far as possible, writing her songs like if she was writing scripts. Her music is considered as very cinematic, dark, feminist, quirky and poetic.

The Actions

London based Alternative Rock band influenced by Trip Hop, Dark Wave and Psychedelia. The Actions played hundreds of gigs in Europe including openings for R.E.M., Green Day, Garbage, Distillers, I Am Kloot… One of their singles "The Real Thing" has been chosen by MTV USA and included in the movie "My Super Psycho Sweet 16".
